Zesty, cheesy and perfect for pizza night this Italian Meat Stromboli recipe is an easy and delicious addition to your weeknight routine!
We do a lot of pizza round here. Like a lot! We have 4 kids to feed and sometimes are short on time, so we love to whip up pizza whenever we can. Sometimes its frozen and sometimes it’s homemade but whatever version it is it always goes over well.
The dough used in this Stromboli recipe is my all time favorite go-to dough of choice. It has minimal ingredients and whips up quick (minus the rising time). We have used it for breadsticks, pizza crust and stuffed cheesy bread and it has never failed us once!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STROMBOLI AND A CALZONE?
A calzone is pretty much just a pizza folded in half, stuffed with your favorite pizza toppings and baked. A Stromboli is rolled so it has layers of your crust and toppings in each and every slice.
WHAT IS IN A STROMBOLI?
You can pretty much put anything you want in your Stromboli. The basics are starting with either a pizza dough or a bread dough and you stuff it with cheese, pizza sauce and cold cut meats. We like to mix it up and do different variations of our strombolis making them chicken, supreme, Philly cheesesteak and so many others.
HOW LONG IS STROMBOLI COOKED?
Stromboli is usually baked in a 400 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes depending on the size. They don’t take long to bake up and they feed a crowd!
With our kids in so many activities throughout the year, we like to keep some homemade pizza dough on hand for the nights where we want to whip out some regular pizza or these delicious Pepperoni Strombolis!

i followed the recipe & didn’t do the slits before baking as it was not in the instructions…
Looks pretty good can’t wait to dig in… Note for next time always watch whole video & read full recipe before starting. Thanks for another great recipe 🙂
So easy and delicious!!!
Traders Joe’s has a great pizza sauce and ready made dough in refrigerated section if your in a hurry!
So yummy! Made this for supper tonight and everyone loved it! So easy to make and so delicious!
This was great. Loved how easy it was to make the dough. Stromboli was delish too. QUESTION… can I make the dough and either refrigerate or freeze it. Having company on Saturday. Want to make the dough on Thursday or Friday.
I made this dough yesterday for the first time in my life! I’ve always been scared to make pizza dough…. this was the easiest and best dough ever. Thank you thank you.
PS….. if made ahead, can this dough be frozen? Need to know!
Fun new recipe , I think it will be something the grand kids would like
STILL MISSED THAT ERROR:
“A calzone is rolled so it has layers of your crust and toppings in each and every slice.”
This is a good recipe. It was crispy in the outside but soft inside. My family loved it.
Best and most comprehensive video … today I’m making my 5th one for a late lunch …my 14 year old granddaughter used this recipe and video and her siblings devoured it!
Love your recipes!!! Today I’m using hot Italian sausage cooked and crumbled first, a bit of left over pepperoni. Left over homemade spaghetti sauce and the last two slices of provolone cheese and of course mozzarella….. my husband is dying as it’s in the oven now….smells amazing!
Super yummy and really easy to put together. We will be making this on the regular. Thanks for the recipe!
