What You’ll Need:
For the dough:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the filling:
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni or Italian sausage (cooked and crumbled)
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper, diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Marinara sauce (for dipping)
How to Make Italian Stromboli:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Start by activating the yeast. In a bowl, mix the warm water and sugar, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes foamy. This step ensures that your yeast is alive and will help the dough rise properly.
Once the yeast is activated, add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Stir everything together until the dough comes together, and then knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, or until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
While the dough is rising, you can prepare the filling. In a small bowl, combine the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses. If you’re adding extra ingredients like pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell peppers, or onions, chop them into small pieces. Mix the seasonings—garlic powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes—together in a separate small dish to evenly distribute the flavors.
