# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 - 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough
→ Filling
02 - 1/2 pound lean ground beef
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
09 - 3 ounces sliced pepperoni
10 - 1/4 cup pizza sauce, plus extra for serving
11 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, optional
→ For Brushing
12 - 1 egg, beaten
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder until fully browned, approximately 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 16 inches.
04 - Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along all edges. Layer the cooked beef, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and pepperoni over the sauce in even distribution.
05 - Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log, pinching the seam and both ends securely to seal.
06 - Place the stromboli on the prepared baking sheet with the seam side facing down.
07 - Brush the top of the stromboli with beaten egg and drizzle with olive oil to create a golden, crispy finish.
08 - Using a sharp knife, make several diagonal slits across the top surface to allow steam to escape during baking.
09 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the exterior is golden brown and the stromboli is cooked through.
10 - Allow the stromboli to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm with additional pizza sauce for dipping.
