Stromboli is a different way to get your pizza fix. You can make it Keto, using Fathead Dough, or you could use your favorite pizza crust dough recipe. Just like pizza, the fillings could come in an endless variety. Switch it up every time you make it for a different taste and experience. The recipe below is a classic flavor.
Ingredients
Fathead Dough ingredients or your favorite pizza dough recipe
1 cup pizza sauce
1/2 red onion, chopped fine
1/2 package pepperoni (could be more or less depending on the brand)
8 slices deli ham, turkey, Salami or pancetta (or a combination of at least two of these)
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp. water
Instructions
Prepare the Fathead Dough or your favorite pizza dough recipe. If you are using a yeast pizza dough recipe that requires a rise, plan accordingly to allow for the time that it takes. Fathead Dough does not require a rise, so it is ready to go immediately.
Roll out the dough forming a rectangle. Spread the pizza sauce over the rectangle leaving about 1-1/2′” around the edges.
Sprinkle with the mozzarella cheese and red onion; then, cover the top with pepperoni and turkey slices or any type of the meat you want to use.
The tricky part is rolling up the stromboli, especially if you are using the Fathead Dough. Fathead Dough has a tendency to crack as it is rolled, but if you are using yeast pizza dough, it should not crack on you. From one of the long sides of the rectangle, carefully roll away from you as you would if making cinnamon rolls. When the stromboli is completely rolled up, pinch each end down and underneath to seal the end pieces. Place the stromboli seam-side down on a greased cookie sheet. Cut 3-4 slits in the top to vent.
Make an egg wash by mixing an egg with some water. Brush the egg wash on top of the stromboli. Bake the stromboli for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees until the crust is browned on the top. If you are using Fathead Dough, make sure you watch it so that the top does not become too brown. Because Fathead Dough is made with almond flour, it browns more quickly than regular dough.
Remove from the oven and slice the stromboli into rounds.
