Ingredients
  

  • 1 pizza crust (Pillsbury)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 egg yolks reserve egg whites separately
  • 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 (15 1/2 ounce) jar pizza sauce
  • 2 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded

  • 1 (3 7/8 ounce) can sliced ripe olives
  • 1 (6 ounce) package pepperoni

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl
  • Small saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, spread out the pizza crust until it forms a rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, egg yolks, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper to create a flavor-packed paste.
  4. Spread the seasoned oil paste evenly over the pizza dough.
  5. Arrange pepperoni across the dough, then sprinkle with sliced olives and mushrooms.
  6. Drizzle lightly with some of the pizza sauce (reserve most for serving).
  7. Cover everything with shredded mozzarella cheese.
  8. Roll the dough from both long ends toward the middle, creating a giant savory roll.
  9. Pinch the seams and ends firmly to seal, then place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  10. Brush the top with the reserved egg whites to create a golden-brown sheen when baked.
  11. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the crust is deeply golden and slightly crisp.
  12. While baking, warm the remaining pizza sauce in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
  13. Allow the stromboli to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  14. Serve slices with warmed pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

This stromboli is incredibly versatile - feel free to customize with your favorite fillings. Try swapping pepperoni for ham, salami, or BBQ chicken. Not a fan of mushrooms? Substitute bell peppers, spinach, or caramelized onions. For a vegetarian version, load it with roasted vegetables and use pesto instead of sauce.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to maintain the crispy exterior.
For a complete meal, serve with a crisp Caesar salad or a light tomato soup.
