Steps:
- Lay pizza dough on a lightly floured surface so it can rest.
- Slice Italian sausage into 1/2 inch slices; fry in a 10" skillet over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup water, peppers and onions; bring to boil and cover.
- Reduce heat to low and cook about 5-10 minutes more, or until veggies are tender and sausage is heated through.
- Drain liquid from skillet and sprinkle sausage mixture with Italian seasoning; set aside.
- ***If you have leftover sausage, onions and peppers, like I did, you just need to warm it up***.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Roll pizza dough (on a lightly floured counter) into a rectangle, approximately 11 x 17.
- Sprinkle with sausage mixture, then the cheeses.
- Start at the bottom of the long side and roll jellyroll fashion, stopping occasionally to stuff sides it. When you get to the end, pinch seam together, trying to squeeze air out as you go.
- Place seam side down on baking sheet; bake for about 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Remove from oven and lay a clean dish towel on top of loaf; this will allow the crust to soften up and it will be easier to slice and eat.
- After about 10 minutes or so, slice into 1 inch slices. Serve with warmed sauce for dipping, if desired.
- Enjoy!

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN STROMBOLI
The beautiful thing about stromboli, is you can layer in whatever ingredients you like. I was taught this particular version by a man from Naples, Italy. Sometimes, I'll use mortadella, soppressta or pancetta for the meats. I usually buy my pizza dough from a local pizzeria, the 14" ball size, but feel free to make your favorite...

- 2. Now, stir in the sauce and simmer for a minute or two. Cool while preparing crust.
- 3. Spray a large sheet pan, with nonstick cooking spray. Spread out the pizza dough. ( try not to tear dough like I did)...lol Down the center of the dough ( lengthwise), place the salami in two rows. On top of that spread out the pepperoni.
- 4. Now, spread the meat sauce evenly over the salami and pepperoni. Add the cheese and sprinkle with parsley.
- 5. If need be, stretch dough over the top so it overlaps. Fold in and pinch the ends, flip over so seam is on the bottom.
- 6. Brush top with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and basil. Place in oven and bake for 20 - 25 minuted or until golden brown.
- 7. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with sauce or without. Enjoy! It's quite tasty.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a high-quality deli meat.
- Don't overstuff the stromboli. If it's too full, it will be difficult to seal and may burst open during baking.
- Brush the stromboli with olive oil before baking. This will help it to brown and give it a crispy crust.
- Bake the stromboli until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the cheese from oozing out.
