Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup marinara sauce
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, approximately 12x16 inches.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly across the dough, followed by the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses. If using, sprinkle red pepper flakes for a little heat.

Step 6

Starting with one of the long edges, gently roll the dough into a tight log, tucking in the ends as you go. Pinch the seam closed to seal.

Step 7

Transfer the Stromboli to the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.

Step 8

In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the surface of the Stromboli with the egg wash.

Step 9

Using a sharp knife, make 4-5 shallow slits across the top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Sprinkle the top with garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Allow the Stromboli to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve warm with additional marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
