Instructions
Making Homemade Stromboli is not as daunting as it may seem. Follow these simple steps to create your own delightful Stromboli:
1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
3. Let the Dough Rise: Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise for about 30 minutes in a warm place until it doubles in size.
4. Preheat the Oven: While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Roll Out the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangular shape on a floured surface.
6. Add the Filling: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Add pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and fresh basil.
7. Roll It Up: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log. Seal the edges to prevent filling from leaking out.
8. Position the Stromboli: Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Prepare for Baking: Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano if desired.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
11. Rest: After removing your Stromboli from the oven, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
12. Slice and Serve: Cut into generous slices and serve warm!
These steps will guide you through making this incredible dish, ensuring your Homemade Stromboli comes out perfectly every time.
