1. u003cstrongu003eCan I use pre-made pizza dough?u003c/strongu003e

Absolutely! Pre-made pizza dough saves time and still tastes amazing. Just pick one with good reviews, or grab it fresh from your grocery store's bakery section.

2. u003cstrongu003eWhat other fillings can I use?u003c/strongu003e

Go wild! Try cooked sausage, ham, salami, or even roasted veggies like bell peppers and mushrooms. For a different twist, swap the marinara for Alfredo sauce.

3. u003cstrongu003eHow do I store leftovers?u003c/strongu003e

Wrap leftover slices tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.

4. u003cstrongu003eCan I freeze stromboli?u003c/strongu003e

5. u003cstrongu003eWhat’s the difference between stromboli and calzone?u003c/strongu003e

Great question! Stromboli is rolled and sliced, while a calzone is folded over like a pocket. Both are delicious, but stromboli wins for easy sharing.

1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
All-purpose flour (for dusting)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded provolone cheese
6 ounces pepperoni
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Add the Pepperoni: Layer the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
Season It Up: Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the topping.
Roll It Like a Pro: Starting from one long edge, roll the dough into a log and pinch the seams to seal.
Brush and Top: Place seam-side down onto the baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and oregano.
Bake to Perfection: Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
Slice and Serve: Let it cool for 5 minutes, then slice into pieces and serve with marinara sauce.
