Meatballs

Method

Preparing the Meatballs

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assembling the Stromboli

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 12x18 inches.

  3. 6

    Add Fillings

    Spread marinara sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with cooked meatballs, fresh basil, pepperoncinis, and mozzarella cheese.

  4. 7

    Roll and Seal

    Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough to form a log. Pinch the edges to seal and tuck the ends under.

  5. 8

    Brush and Bake

    Place the stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 9

    Slice and Serve

    Remove from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, slice into pieces, and serve warm.
