Description
A traditional stromboli featuring layers of spiced pepperoni slices and melted low-moisture mozzarella rolled tightly inside golden pizza dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb standard prepared pizza dough (room temperature)
- 1.5 cups shredded low-moisture whole milk mozzarella cheese
- 4 oz thinly sliced pepperoni ((about 35 to 40 slices))
- 1/4 cup thick marinara or pizza sauce ((plus extra for serving))
- 1 large egg (beaten with 1 tbsp water)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line an 18×13-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the pizza dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 10×14-inch rectangle of uniform thickness.
- Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving an untouched 1-inch border along all four edges.
- Layer the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then arrange the pepperoni slices in a flat layer across the cheese.
- Roll the dough tightly lengthwise into a cylinder, tuck both short ends underneath to seal the interior, and transfer seam-side down onto the baking sheet.
- Brush the exterior with egg wash, sprinkle with dried oregano, slice three diagonal 1/2-inch steam vents across the top, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes until deep golden brown; rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Keywords: Turkey pepperoni can replace pork pepperoni without adjusting bake time. For a dairy-free alternative, substitute a meltable plant-based mozzarella style shred.
