Ingredients

• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tablespoon water
• ½ pound shredded mozzarella cheese
• cooking spray
• ½ pound Genoa salami, thinly sliced
• 28 ounces pizza dough
• ½ pound smoked ham, thinly sliced
• ½ pound pepperoni, thinly sliced
• ½ pound white Cheddar cheese, sliced
• ½ cup sliced bell pepper rings

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Spray a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.

Step 2

Cut pizza dough in half and roll each half into an 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Arrange ham in 1 layer on each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Layer salami, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, white Cheddar cheese, and bell pepper rings, in that order, over the ham.

Step 3

Roll dough around the toppings, starting with the long side. Stop halfway to tuck in ends; continue rolling. Place each stromboli on the prepared jelly roll pan.

Step 4

Whisk egg yolks and water together in a bowl; brush over stromboli. Cut diagonal slashes 3 inches apart in the top of each stromboli.

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Allow stromboli to proof in a warm place while the oven heats up.

Step 6

Bake stromboli until golden brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack before slicing.
