Ingredients
  

1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup sliced pepperoni

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup Italian cheese blend (optional)

1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)

Flour (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 12x16 inches in size. Ensure it's even in thickness.

      Layer the Fillings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Then, arrange the sliced pepperoni on top of the mozzarella followed by the grated Parmesan cheese and optional Italian cheese blend.

        Season the Filling: Sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the cheese and pepperoni for an extra burst of flavor.

          Roll the Stromboli: Starting from one of the long ends, carefully roll the dough tightly into a cylinder. Pinch the edges together to seal and tuck the ends under to secure the filling.

            Brush with Egg Wash: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with the beaten egg for a golden, glossy finish.

              Make Slits: Use a sharp knife to make 3-4 diagonal slits along the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.

                Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.

                  Let it Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

                    Serve: Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious cheesy pepperoni stromboli!
