This was my first time making Stromboli and it was SO amazing! The smell of the dough baking gave me fair vibes! It just smelled like that amazing funnel cake smell throughout the house for hours! I used Snake River Farms Wagyu Ground Beef which obviously enhanced the flavor by a million percent! The melty mozzarella in there, the zesty pepperoni, all those fresh veggies! It was to die for! It wasn't too difficult to make, and it was a huge hit with the family!
In a large bowl, add olive oil and dough ball. Toss the ball around to coat, then cover with a damp towel for an hour.
Once your dough is ready, carefully stretch it and pull it to about the length of your baking sheet. Use your fingers to push down and thin the dough as you spread it.
Preheat oven to 375 ℉
To make the filling:
In a large skillet on medium heat, melt butter.
Add onion, mushroom, and green pepper, cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Next add garlic and cook for one minute, until fragrant.
Stir in half of the salt, the rest of the seasonings, then transfer to a bowl covered with foil until ready to use.
Next, add the ground beef to the skillet on medium and sprinkle in the rest of the salt.
Break up the ground beef with a spatula and cook until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes.
Drain beef and return to the skillet with the cooked vegetables, pizza sauce, flour, and parmesan.
Cook on medium low for 3-5 minutes, stirring to incorporate and warm all of the ingredients.
Remove skillet from heat and set aside until ready to use.
To assemble the stromboli:
On the bottom half of the prepared dough, line half of the pepperoni evenly in a few rows.
Next, spread half of the mozzarella cheese evenly along the pepperoni.
Spread the meat mixture all over the mozzarella cheese, followed with the remaining mozzarella and pepperoni.
Carefully fold the top of the dough over the filling and pinch the sides around it to seal it.
Use a fork to poke some holes in the top or use a knife to make a few slits.
To bake and serve:
Bake Stromboli for 25 minutes, until golden brown!
Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and enjoying!
