Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Italian Stromboli
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure an evenly cooked and crispy crust for your Italian Stromboli.
  2. Roll out your refrigerated pizza crust to a rectangle about ¼ inch thick and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Spread 1/4 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  4. Layer your fillings starting with deli ham, followed by grated mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, and seasoning.
  5. Roll the crust, tucking in the sides, pinch the seams, and form a log-like shape.
  6. Brush the top with melted butter, sprinkle with garlic powder and parsley, and cut slits for steam vents.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes until golden-brown and bubbly.
  8. Cool for about 5 minutes before slicing, and serve warm with pizza sauce for dipping.
