Ingredients
  • 1 package pre-made pizza dough
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup nonfat mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 10 slices deli ham sliced thin
  • 8 slices turkey salami
  • 8 slices turkey pepperoni
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley
Servings: 1 slice
Units:
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Unroll the premade pizza dough out and if necessary, roll into a rectangle about 12 x 14 inches with a rolling pin.
  3. In a small bowl, combine melted 1 Tbsp olive oil and minced garlic. Brush over the top of the dough.
  4. Spread ½ cup mozzarella cheese on top of the dough, leaving the edges bare.
  5. Top the cheese with ham, then add another layer of Mozzarella cheese. Next, add the pieces of salami and pepperoni. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the pepperoni.
  6. In a small bowl, beat the egg with a fork and brush to coat the edges of the dough.
  7. Next, carefully roll up the stromboli. Start with the long edge and roll it tightly so it stays together. Seal the seam with a little bit of water. Then roll the stromboli so the seam is facing down. Finally, both ends of the dough are under, so it’s sealed well. Then transfer to baking sheet.
  8. In a small bowl combine the remaining 2 Tbsp olive oil, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Brush the top of the stromboli with butter mixture. Using a sharp serrated knife, make shallow diagonal cuts on top of stromboli every 2 inches.
  9. Bake in preheated oven at 375F for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce, and enjoy.
