Ingredients for Barbecued Stromboli

  • Bread Dough
  • Butter
  • Garlic Powder
  • Onion Powder
  • Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Pepperoni Slices
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce

How to Make Barbecued Stromboli

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If using store-bought pizza dough, let it thaw completely. Lightly flour your work surface.
  3. Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.
  4. Spread a thin layer of your favorite BBQ sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  5. Evenly distribute the mozzarella cheese over the BBQ sauce.
  6. Sprinkle the pepperoni slices (if using) over the mozzarella.
  7. Add sliced onions and bell peppers, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
  8. Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  9. Tuck the end of the dough under to seal the stromboli.
  10. Place the stromboli seam-down onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Let the stromboli rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with your favorite pizza sauce or garlic butter dip.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
