All the ingredients you love in a great Italian sub are rolled up in pizza crust and baked to perfection in this Italian sub stromboli.

So with this stromboli, I took my favorite ingredients for Italian subs and baked it in a pizza crust-thus a stromboli.

Italian sub stromboli makes for a great meal or appetizer and goes from plain pizza crust to table in 30 minutes.

All baked together to a golden brown. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.

The ingredients and why they work so well together

This homemade stromboli has-

  • Pre-made pizza crust. You can find the tube, rectangle pizza crust in the grocery store next to the pre-made biscuits.
  • Black forest ham, pepperoni & hard salami Layer the lunchmeat on top of the dough.
  • Two types of cheese – shredded mozzarella and slices of swiss. The two types of cheese, from slice and shredded, melt really well together.
  • Tomatoes and peppercini. The peppercini and tomatoes add so much flavor.
  • Pre-made Italian dressing. Drizzle on top of the ingredients before rolling up.
  • Egg and Italian seasoning. Brush whisked egg on top of the pizza crust and finish off with Italian seasoning.
  • Serve with a marinara sauce for dipping.

How to make Italian stromboli step-by-step

For this recipe, I used parchment paper under the pizza crust. I liked using this because it made rolling up the stromboli with the leverage from the paper much easier.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Start by rolling out the pizza dough on pieces of parchment paper.

Next, start placing the Italian Sub ingredients onto one side of the dough, not in the middle.

Layer the ham, salami, pepperoni, swiss cheese, peppercini, diced tomatoes, swiss, and mozzarella cheese. Pour the Italian dressing over the top, splitting between the two.

Since this pizza crust has parchment paper built-in the rolling up of the stromboli is so simple. Start by folding the pizza crust over the filling.

Peel down the parchment paper and repeat the process until the pizza crust is all rolled up and the filling is completely rolled up into the pizza crust.

If necessary, move the dough so that the dough ends up seam-side down.

Whisk an egg then brush on top of the crust. This gives it a nice brown color on the top.

Using a knife, make 5-6 cuts on top of the crust so the heat can escape while baking.

Sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove the Italian Sub stromboli from the oven.

Tips & Variations

  • I used Black Forest ham but any type of ham can be used.
  • Cut at least 4 cuts in the top of the stromboli to vent the steam.
  • Make your own homemade Italian dressing from Will Cook for Smiles.

Notes

Tips for making this recipe:

  • Using parchment paper under the prepared pizza crust makes it easier to use as leverage while rolling up the stromboli. Slowly peel away the parchment as you roll it up. The unused parchment paper can be cut away or left, it may look dark brown once it comes out but has no effect on the taste.
  • Make sure to slice at least 4 cuts in the top to vent. 
  • To store: add to a covered container and eat within 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer. I do not recommend freezing this dish.

    What is the “prepared Italian dressing”? Salad dressing?

      Yes, this would be the bottled salad dressing, not the envelope dry powdered dressing mix. Thank you for your question!

      You would use both of the pizza crusts. If you wanted to pair down the recipe serving size, you could always use one pizza crust and half of the recommended ingredients. Thank you!

    Hi-I am anxious to try this-but the only pizza Dough available is Pillsbury. Will that work?

      Yes, you can use the Pillsbury dough. Just make sure to use a rolling pin to thin the crust out. You wouldn’t want it to be thicker than 1/2 an inch. Thank you so much, and I hope you enjoy!
