Ingredients
  

Dough and Coating
  • 1 tube Pillsbury pizza crust
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
  • 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Fillings
  • 8 slices deli ham
  • 10 slices Genoa salami
  • 12 slices sandwich pepperoni
  • 8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
  • Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Layer the fillings by placing provolone or mozzarella first, followed by ham, salami, and then pepperoni, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
  4. Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly like a jelly roll.
  5. Pinch the seam and ends closed, making sure to place the seam-side down.
  6. Cut 6–8 shallow slits across the top to allow steam to escape.
Baking
  1. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan to create garlic butter.
  2. Brush half of the garlic butter mixture over the stromboli.
  3. Bake in the oven for 22–28 minutes until it turns golden brown and bubbly.
Serving
  1. After baking, brush with the remaining garlic butter and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, skip the meats and load up on your favorite veggies like spinach, mushrooms, and bell peppers along with the cheese. You can serve it with marinara sauce for dipping.
