# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 pizza dough
02 - 3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
05 - 12 thin slices ham
06 - 15 slices salami
07 - 15–17 slices pepperoni
08 - 1 egg, beaten
09 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
11 - 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
12 - Marinara sauce for dipping

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for even baking and a perfectly golden crust.
02 - Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle approximately 12 x 14 inches. For easier transfer, roll the dough directly onto a piece of parchment paper.
03 - Mix 1 tablespoon of melted butter with minced garlic in a small bowl. Brush this mixture evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
04 - Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a 1–2-inch border along one long edge and both short edges. Layer the ham slices, followed by another ½ cup of shredded mozzarella. Then add the salami and pepperoni, sprinkling the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
05 - Brush beaten egg along the exposed edges of the dough. Starting from the long edge without the egg wash, roll the stromboli tightly in a jelly-roll style. Pinch the seam to seal and tuck the ends underneath for a neat finish.
06 - Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter with garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Brush this mixture over the top of the stromboli. Use a serrated knife to create shallow diagonal cuts approximately 2 inches apart along the top.
07 - Place the stromboli onto a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
08 - Let the stromboli cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

# Notes:

01 - Allowing the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing ensures the filling stays intact.
