Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup sliced pepperoni
  • ½ green bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, sliced
  • ½ onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup pizza sauce
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Topping:

  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tbsp melted butter
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess grease.
  3. Add sliced onions, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for 4–5 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and remove from heat.
  5. Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
  7. Add the cooked beef mixture, pepperoni, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheese evenly over the filling.
  8. Carefully roll the dough into a log, folding the edges inward to seal the filling.
  9. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Make a few diagonal cuts on top to release steam.
  10. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  11. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  12. Brush with melted butter, let rest for 5–10 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with warm pizza sauce or marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy with a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables.

Tips

  • Avoid adding too much sauce to prevent soggy dough.
  • Let the beef filling cool slightly before assembling.
  • Use extra mozzarella for a cheesier filling.
  • Allow the Stromboli to rest before slicing so the cheese stays inside.
