Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 4 links Italian sausages
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the pizza dough out into a large rectangle, about 12x18 inches.

Step 3

Remove the casings from the Italian sausages and cook them in a skillet over medium heat, breaking them into small crumbles using a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Set aside.

Step 5

Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese evenly over the marinara sauce.

Step 7

Spread the cooked sausage crumbles evenly on top of the cheese layers.

Step 8

Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes over the sausage for added flavor.

Step 9

Starting with one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight spiral, similar to a jelly roll. Pinch the seam and ends to seal the Stromboli tightly.

Step 10

Transfer the Stromboli to a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down.

Step 11

Brush the entire surface with the egg wash and make a few shallow slits across the top to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the Stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Slice into portions and serve warm. Optionally, serve with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
