Ingredients
- • Bread flour: 3 cups
- • Warm water: 1 cup
- • Active dry yeast: 2 1/4 teaspoons
- • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • Sugar: 1 tablespoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Pepperoni slices: 1/2 cup
- • Salami slices: 1/2 cup
- • Deli ham slices: 1/2 cup
- • Shredded mozzarella cheese: 1 1/2 cups
- • Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/2 cup
- • Italian seasoning: 1 tablespoon
- • Garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • Egg (beaten, for egg wash): 1
- • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish): 2 tablespoons

Instructions
- 1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2 In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- 3 Add the olive oil, salt, and bread flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 4 Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. Evenly layer the pepperoni, salami, and ham slices over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- 5 Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the meats, followed by the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- 6 Carefully roll the dough up from one of the longer sides, tucking in the ends as you go, to form a log. Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- 7 Brush the top of the roll with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Using a sharp knife, make several diagonal slashes on top of the roll to allow steam to escape.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
- 9 Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
Serving Suggestions
- • This savory stromboli bread roll pairs wonderfully with a side of marinara sauce for dipping, adding a touch of tanginess to each bite. Consider serving it alongside a simple arugula salad dressed with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish. For a truly indulgent experience, pair this savory roll with a glass of full-bodied red wine, like a Cabernet Sauvignon, which complements the robust flavors of the meats and cheeses. If you're planning a casual gathering, consider adding this stromboli to a charcuterie board with a variety of cheeses, olives, and pickled vegetables. It's an impressive centerpiece that will surely be the talk of the table.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover stromboli roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm the slices on a baking sheet for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. For a quicker option, use a microwave, but be aware that the crust might lose its crispness. If you wish to freeze the stromboli, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then foil, and store it in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
