Ingredients

  • Basic Pizza Dough, recipe follows
  • 1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, removed from casings and crumbled
  • 1 cup sliced yellow onions
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced green bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced seeded and stemmed jalapenos
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 pound sliced ham
  • 1/4 pound thinly sliced pepperoni or salami
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 2 cups grated provolone
  • 2 cups grated mozzarella
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water to make an egg wash
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a large baking sheet and set aside.

In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned and the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper towels. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan. Add the onions, bell peppers, and jalapenos and cook, stirring, until very soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and cool.

Punch down the dough and divide half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a large rectangle, about 10 by 14 inches. Spread half of the cooled sausage mixture across the dough leaving a 1-inch border. Overlapping slightly, layer half of the ham, pepperoni, olives, provolone and mozzarella cheeses over the top. Using a pastry brush, paint the border of 1 long edge with egg wash. Starting at the opposite long end without egg wash, roll up the dough into a cylinder, pinching the edges to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Let the dough rise, 20 to 30 minutes.

Brush the top of each stromboli with egg wash. Bake until nearly completely golden brown and starting to crisp, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle each stromboli with Parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted and the dough is golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let stand 10 minutes. Slice thickly and serve.

Basic Pizza Dough:

1 cup warm (110 degrees F) water

1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 cups bleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.

Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Use as directed.

    Great pizza dough recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    The dough recipe is easy and turns out great every time. Cut the flour down by 1/3 to 1/4 cup. Make sure the rolled dough... is not too thin. Otherwise, excellent recipe. Serve warm pizza sauce as a side.Read more

    I make this all the time. I buy frozen bread dough (loaf types) thaw over-night or all day, and roll it out. The frozen... dough is really good now. Stick to a name-brand, better than the grocery store brand. I likie Rose's but don't know if it's avail in your area. I even just use spinach and parmesan and garlic sometimes, and serve it with soup in the winter. My kids love it!Read more

    Excelelnt, but Dough Splits

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This is a great recipe, but am I the only one having trouble with the dough splitting as it bakes in the oven. This has... happened a few times now. I make his pizza dough recipe very carefully, and let it rise the appropriate time, then roll it out at room temperature. Once put together it looks great. I seal and brush it with the egg wash, but every time I take it out of the oven, it has split in a few spots. I can't figure out why. It appears the dough is rolled up nice and evenly. If anyone else has had this problem, I'd appreciate hearing how you solved it.Read more

    GREAT FLAVOR

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Oh my goodness! I was craving a good Stromboli but had never made it! I turned to Emeril as he has NEVER steared me wrong... yet. This was great! I purchased the pizza dough that I had purchased many times before from a little grocery store so that made it quicker but it definately was not difficult nor time consuming in my book! I made a meat (Italian Sausage, pepperoni...etc. (no ham) and a vege (artichoke hearts, olives, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes). They were both a hit! LOVED the peppers! I am making this again tomorrow for company! Thanks Emeril! Read more
