Cheesy Pepperoni Stromboli Bake (Print Version)

Golden baked dough, gooey cheese, and pepperoni make this a crowd-pleasing Italian-American meal.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
03 - 1 cup sliced pepperoni
04 - 0.5 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
05 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
09 - Salt and pepper to taste
10 - Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 - Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape.
03 - Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
04 - Layer the pepperoni slices over the cheese, then sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
05 - Carefully roll up the dough into a log, folding in the sides to seal the filling inside.
06 - Place the stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
07 - Brush the top of the stromboli with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little extra garlic powder and oregano.
08 - Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted inside.
09 - Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing into pieces.
10 - Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Ensure the dough edges are well-sealed to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
