Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (no-salt-added)
• 8 slices Low-sodium turkey or chicken ham slices
• 1.5 cups Part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Roasted red peppers
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes bubbly.

Step 2

Add olive oil and 1 teaspoon of the Italian seasoning to the yeast mixture. Gradually add 3 cups of flour, mixing continuously until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes, adding the remaining flour as necessary, until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle measuring approximately 12x18 inches.

Step 7

Layer the low-sodium turkey or chicken ham slices evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the ham, followed by roasted red peppers, fresh spinach, and sliced red onion.

Step 9

Gently roll the dough into a log, starting with the long side, tucking the ends under to seal the stromboli.

Step 10

Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Make several slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 11

Beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash and brush it over the stromboli to give it a golden color.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into 6 pieces. Serve warm.
