    Italian Stromboli You Can Make At Home

    by Patti Estep · Jan 23, 2020

    Jump to Recipe

    Learn how to make this hearty Italian stromboli. It's similar to a calzone without ricotta cheese or sauce inside. Perfect for a party or a Sunday watching the game.

    Slices of Italian stromboli

    When my husband was a teenager he worked in a pizza shop.  We met in college, and after we had been dating for a while, I went to visit him in his hometown.

    It was on this trip that I first tasted Stromboli. A big fan of Italian food, I had already tasted many kinds of pizza, calzones, subs, and hoagies (hot subs), but I had never tasted stromboli.

    Stromboli vs Calzone

    If you haven't had stromboli, it's sort of like a calzone, or a panini. However, in the stromboli, there is no ricotta cheese or pizza sauce, and a stromboli is not pressed like a panini sandwich but baked like a pizza.

    Italian meats and cheeses layered on pizza dough.

    What You'll Need

    • Pizza dough - we bought frozen pizza dough at the grocery store
    • Mix of Italian meat - ham, Genoa salami, and sweet Italian sausage
    • Cheeses - provolone and mozzarella
    • Olive oil
    • Spices - oregano, garlic powder, onion powder
    Baked stromboli from the oven.

    We like it with lots of Italian meats and cheeses but you can get creative with the filling.

    Stromboli Filling Variations

    • Traditional  - Italian meats and cheese such as capicola, salami, pepperoni, mozzarella and provolone
    • Vegetable - Sauteed onions, peppers, and mushrooms with provolone and mozzarella
    • American (kids like this) - Virginia baked ham and white American cheese.
    Homemade stromboli cut into pieces

    Many years later, my husband still makes it for family and friend gatherings. Especially in the winter for parties like the super bowl. Give it a try. I know you'll love it.

    Ingredients
      

    • Pizza dough - we bought frozen pizza dough at the grocery store
    • Mix of Italian meat - ham Genoa salami, and sweet Italian sausage
    • Cheeses - provolone and mozzarella
    • Olive Oil

    Instructions
     

    • Defrost the dough per the instructions on the bag.
    • Roll into a ball and place in a bowl with a little oil on the bottom to keep it from sticking.
    • Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1.5 hours
    • Remove from the bowl and lightly flour the dough and surface.
    • Roll out into an oval/rectangle shape approx. 14 inch.
    • Layer meats and cheese down the middle. Our order was ham, provolone, sausage, mozzarella, and salami.
    • Fold one side of the dough over the middle crimping the top and bottom edges.
    • Repeat with the other side.
    • Slice openings along the top to vent.
    • Brush top with olive oil.
    • Sprinkle with oregano, garlic, and onion powder.
    • Bake at 400 degrees on a pizza stone for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
    • If you do not have a pizza stone use a baking sheet and bake in a  350 degree oven for 30 - 40 minutes watching for bubbling cheese and a golden brown crust.
    • Let cool and serve in slices.
