Seal the stromboli up by wetting your fingers and sealing the end of the dough. Then roll over the stromboli so that the seam is facing down. Seal the ends of the stromboli with wet fingers, folding the dough underneath if there is extra.
That’s it. Now you can bake it! Remember, it will taste incredible, no matter how it looks.
Stromboli Filling Ideas
The fillings for Stromboli are as limitless as pizza toppings. You could
literally put anything in. BBQ chicken and red onions, Hawaiian with
pineapple, sky is the limit. Next time I think I’m going to try a
combination style one: green peppers, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms,
olives. Yum!
How to store Italian Stromboli
Finished stromboli will last in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or seal it well and toss in the freezer for up to 3 months.
To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge if frozen, then warm in the oven until heated all the way through. You can pop individual slices in the microwave, but they won’t be as crispy on the edges (just like pizza!)
Easy Stromboli Recipe FAQ
STROMBOLI VS CALZONE
While stromboli and calzones are both variations on classic pizza, they are slightly different.
A calzone is a circle of dough that’s filled with pizza toppings, then
folded over to form a crescent of dough. A stromboli is a rectangular
piece of dough that’s layered with pizza toppings, then rolled up
lengthwise to create a long loaf.
DO STROMBOLI HAVE SAUCE IN THEM?
Usually not! Instead the final slices are dipped in warm marinara sauce
when it is served. This ensures a perfectly cooked stromboli and plenty
of delicious sauce in every bite–since you’re scooping it up yourself,
you can choose the amount you want. And of course, you want allll the
sauce.
