How to Make Pizza Stromboli

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3 cups all-purpose flour to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare your pizza filling: In a large bowl, combine 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup sliced green bell pepper.
  6. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a large rectangle (approximately 12x18 inches).
  7. Spread the pizza filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  8. Starting at one of the long sides, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  9. Pinch the seam to seal and curve the ends to form a horseshoe shape.
  10. Place the stromboli seam-side down on a greased baking sheet.
  11. Brush the top with olive oil and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
