My Supreme Stromboli tastes just like a supreme pizza all rolled up and served with a warm, marinara sauce. Use the technique in the recipe below and add all of your favorite pizza toppings!
Give me ALL the pizza!! I don’t care what’s on it (well…no anchovies or broccoli) and I don’t care what form it is in. I just LOVE pizza!
My Supreme Stromboli tastes just like a rolled-up slice of supreme pizza. I fill mine with pepperoni, sausage, green bell peppers, and lots of cheese and serve it alongside a bowl of warm marinara sauce.
What’s the difference between a calzone and Stromboli?
There are a few differences between these two delicious items. First of all, the shape is different for both. A calzone is like a stuffed, folded pizza. It was created in Italy so people could walk around the streets holding their pizza. Sounds like a genius idea to me! Whereas a stromboli is rolled up like a jelly roll so you get all of the ingredients in each bite. As far as the fillings go, a calzone usually contains ricotta cheese or a mix of cheeses including ricotta. A stromboli only has mozzarella – never ricotta. And for the sauce? Calzones are always dipped into sauce but you won’t find any sauce inside the dough. A stromboli can also be dipped into sauce but usually has a thin layer inside the roll as well.
Here’s how I make my Supreme Stromboli:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Cook the Italian sausage and put it to the side.
- Cut the green bell peppers into strips.
- Roll the dough out into a rectangle. Top the dough with some pizza sauce, then the shredded mozzarella, sausage, and green bell peppers. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Begin rolling the stromboli up starting with the wide side of the dough (see pictures below).
- Brush the top of the stromboli with an egg wash (1 egg mixed with a little water and stirred together). Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and some garlic powder. Make 4-5 cuts down the stromboli.
- Place stromboli on baking sheet and bake for 25-35 minutes or until top of stromboli is browned and crispy.
