A sandwich is a sandwich, but sandwich fillings baked up in braided, seasoned dough is a Stromboli. Or maybe a calzone, depending on what you put into it. Either way, this small carb change makes all the difference in this Italian Stromboli recipe.
If you want to impress the pants off anyone, make a homemade Stromboli. I don’t know why everyone thinks they’re hard to make but there super duper easy and the results are nothing short of amazing.
Plus, when you make a Stromboli at home, you can fill it with whatever you want. It’s not that difficult to do….but our favorite is a traditional Italian Stromboli filled with all the same things you’d find in an Italian Hoagie. And in our neck of the woods (Philly, Philly,), you can order your Italian Hoagie as a grinder….which is just an open faced Italian Stromboli that’s been baked, basically.

Italian Stromboli Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tube Pillsbury pizza crust
8 slices deli ham
10 slices Genoa salami
12 slices sandwich pepperoni
8 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese (shredded cheese works too)
2 tablespoons butter
2 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Directions:
Prepare Garlic Butter: Melt the butter in the microwave and mix in the minced garlic, parsley, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza dough tube. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stretch Dough: Stretch the pizza crust to nearly the size of your baking sheet.
Layer Ingredients: Layer the deli meats on the dough, starting with the ham, followed by the salami, and then the pepperoni. Add the cheese as the final layer.
Roll and Seal: Roll the Stromboli lengthwise, ensuring the seam is sealed well. Pinch and mold the ends, tucking any excess dough underneath.
Score and Top: Score the top of the Stromboli a few times with a serrated knife to allow steam to escape. Brush the top with the garlic butter mixture.
Bake: Bake the Stromboli according to the instructions on the pizza dough package. (Typically, it bakes for the same duration as a regular pizza, but without the initial par-bake step.)
Serve: Let it cool slightly, slice, and serve. Enjoy with a side of marinara sauce for dipping if desired!
This Italian Stromboli is a delicious, easy-to-make meal that will have everyone asking for seconds!
