Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced ham
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese sliced or shredded
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard optional
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs optional
  • 1 large egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • Marinara sauce for dipping optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12x14 inches).
  • Add Mustard (Optional): If using Dijon mustard, spread it evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Layer Ingredients: Evenly layer the ham slices on top of the dough, followed by the Swiss cheese.
  • Roll It Up: Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, tucking the ends under as you roll. Place the 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 golden, glossy finish.
  • Season the Top: Drizzle the top with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian herbs if desired.
  • Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
  • Cool and Slice: Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use Quality Dough: A good pizza dough makes all the difference. If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature before rolling for easier handling.
  • Add Extra Flavor: Try adding sautéed onions, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra depth of flavor.
  • Prevent Soggy Dough: Avoid overloading with fillings to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.
  • Seal the Edges: Pinch and tuck the ends tightly to prevent any filling from oozing out while baking.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble the stromboli ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
