Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a rectangle measuring about 12x16 inches.
  3. Spread a generous layer of marinara sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving about an inch of border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle freshly grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the marinara sauce.
  5. Layer in your chosen fillings and distribute them evenly across the cheese.
  6. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one edge, sealing the seams as you go.
  7. Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.
  8. Whisk the egg and brush a layer of egg wash over the top of your Stromboli.
  9. Bake your Stromboli in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes.
  10. Let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
