Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and olive oil. Add the activated yeast mixture and stir until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Filling

    In a bowl, mix together the shredded mozzarella, pepperoni, diced bell pepper, diced onion, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until evenly combined.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 6

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 7

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 12x16 inches.

  3. 8

    Add Filling

    Spread the filling mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 9

    Roll and Seal

    Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a log. Pinch the seams to seal and tuck in the ends.

  5. 10

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.

  6. 11

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

  7. 12

    Cool and Slice

    Remove from oven, let cool for about 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
