Steps:
- Lay pizza dough on a lightly floured surface so it can rest.
- Slice Italian sausage into 1/2 inch slices; fry in a 10" skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup water, peppers and onions; bring to boil and cover.
- Reduce heat to low and cook about 5-10 minutes more, or until veggies are tender and sausage is heated through.
- Drain liquid from skillet and sprinkle sausage mixture with Italian seasoning; set aside.
- ***If you have leftover sausage, onions and peppers, like I did, you just need to warm it up***.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Roll pizza dough (on a lightly floured counter) into a rectangle, approximately 11 x 17.
- Sprinkle with sausage mixture, then the cheeses.
- Start at the bottom of the long side and roll jellyroll fashion, stopping occasionally to stuff sides it. When you get to the end, pinch seam together, trying to squeeze air out as you go.
- Place seam side down on baking sheet; bake for about 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Remove from oven and lay a clean dish towel on top of loaf; this will allow the crust to soften up and it will be easier to slice and eat.
- After about 10 minutes or so, slice into 1 inch slices. Serve with warmed sauce for dipping, if desired.
- Enjoy!

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN STROMBOLI
The beautiful thing about stromboli, is you can layer in whatever ingredients you like. I was taught this particular version by a man from Naples, Italy. Sometimes, I'll use mortadella, soppressta or pancetta for the meats. I usually buy my pizza dough from a local pizzeria, the 14" ball size, but feel free to make your favorite...

~ MEAT LOVERS ITALIAN STROMBOLI ~
This Stromboli was a big hit with my family. They loved the combo of meats and sauciness. Add whatever veggies you like. Mushrooms would be great in this as well. It's sloppy, but so good. Enjoy!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. In a medium skillet, add about a tablespoon oil and over medium heat, crumble sausage and add the salt and pepper. Brown together until sausage is no longer pink and vegetables are tender. Drain. Add the oregano.
- 2. Now, stir in the sauce and simmer for a minute or two. Cool while preparing crust.
- 3. Spray a large sheet pan, with nonstick cooking spray. Spread out the pizza dough. ( try not to tear dough like I did)...lol Down the center of the dough ( lengthwise), place the salami in two rows. On top of that spread out the pepperoni.
- 4. Now, spread the meat sauce evenly over the salami and pepperoni. Add the cheese and sprinkle with parsley.
- 5. If need be, stretch dough over the top so it overlaps. Fold in and pinch the ends, flip over so seam is on the bottom.
- 6. Brush top with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and basil. Place in oven and bake for 20 - 25 minuted or until golden brown.
- 7. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with sauce or without. Enjoy! It's quite tasty.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the cheese and meats. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish.
- Don't overfill the stromboli. It should be tightly packed, but not so much that it bursts open when you bake it.
- Be careful not to overbake the stromboli. It should be cooked through, but the cheese should still be slightly gooey.
- Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help to prevent the cheese from oozing out.
- Serve the stromboli with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or ranch dressing are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Stromboli is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With so many different filling options, there's sure to be a stromboli recipe that everyone will love.
