Discover the simplicity and deliciousness of homemade Stromboli, a versatile Italian-inspired dish perfect for a quick yet satisfying dinner. With store-bought pizza dough as our base, this recipe combines fresh spinach, savory grilled chicken, and a delightful blend of cheeses to create a comforting meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

🍞 1 pound pizza dough
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧀 Provolone cheese (slices, as desired)
🌿 Fresh spinach (handful)
🍗 Grilled chicken (sliced, as desired)
🧀 Mozzarella cheese (shredded or slices, as desired)
🥚 1 egg, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
🌰 Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.

2- Prepare the Dough:

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x15 inches.

3- Add Flavor to the Dough:

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the garlic powder.

4- Layer the Ingredients:

Start by placing slices of provolone cheese across the dough.
Next, layer a handful of fresh spinach leaves.
Follow with an even layer of sliced grilled chicken.
Top with mozzarella cheese.

5- Roll the Stromboli:

Starting from a longer side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
Tuck in the ends and seal them to preserve the filling.

6- Prepare for Baking:

Place the Stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cut 5 to 6 slits on top to allow steam to escape.
Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds if using.

7- Bake:

Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

8- Rest and Serve:

Remove the Stromboli from the oven. Let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and slice into pieces. Serve warm with your favorite pizza or marinara sauce.
