Homemade Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli

This Homemade Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli is a delicious twist on classic pizza! Made with soft pizza dough, savory pepperoni, gooey mozzarella cheese, and flavorful pizza sauce, it’s rolled into a beautiful golden loaf and baked until crispy on the outside and cheesy inside. Perfect for family dinners, game days, or an easy weekend treat.

Ingredients

• 1 lb refrigerated pizza dough
• 6 oz sliced pepperoni
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce, plus extra for dipping
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
3. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce.
5. Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese.
6. Roll the dough tightly into a loaf, tucking in the ends to keep the filling inside.
7. Place the Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Brush the top with beaten egg. Use a sharp knife to make several shallow diagonal slits across the top.
9. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.
10. Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and brush it over the hot crust. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
11. Let the Stromboli rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
12. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips for the Best Stromboli

• Avoid adding too much sauce, which can make the dough soggy.
• Roll the dough tightly and seal the edges to prevent cheese from leaking out.
• Let it rest before cutting so the melted cheese settles slightly.
• Serve with warm marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
