Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface, shaping it into a rectangle approximately 10x14 inches.
  3. Spread an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges.
  4. Place pepperoni, salami, and deli ham slices on top of the cheese in a single, even layer.
  5. Sprinkle one teaspoon of Italian seasoning and half a teaspoon of garlic powder over the meat layer.
  6. Starting from one of the long edges, carefully roll the dough lengthwise into a tight log and seal the edges.
  7. Transfer the rolled Stromboli seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with melted butter.
  8. Bake the Stromboli for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  9. Once baked, let your Italian Stromboli rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice the Stromboli into generous pieces for serving and pair it with warm marinara sauce.
