Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade)
- 8 oz thinly sliced deli ham
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Marinara sauce for dipping (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12×14 inches.
- Layer the Ingredients: Evenly layer the ham slices over the dough, leaving about 1 inch of dough around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the ham. Then, sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the cheese.
- Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough up into a tight log. Pinch the seams and ends to seal them, and place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over the top of the stromboli to give it a shiny, golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into 1-inch thick pieces. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
