  1. Prepare the Garlic Butter Mixture
    • Melt the butter in the microwave.
    • Mix in the minced garlic and chopped parsley, along with the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  2. Prep Your Baking Sheet
    • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Stretch the Pizza Crust
    • Stretch out the Pillsbury pizza crust to nearly the size of your baking sheet.
  4. Layer the Deli Meats
    • Start by layering the deli ham evenly over the pizza crust.
    • Follow with the Genoa salami and sandwich pepperoni.
  5. Add the Cheese
    • Layer the provolone cheese or mozzarella slices over the meats.
  6. Roll the Stromboli
    • Roll the Stromboli longwise, ensuring the seam is sealed tightly.
    • Seal the ends by pinching the dough and molding any excess to the underside of the Stromboli.
  7. Score the Top
    • Score the top of the Stromboli a few times using a serrated knife. This allows steam to escape while baking.
  8. Apply the Garlic Butter
    • Top the Stromboli with the prepared garlic butter mixture, ensuring even coverage.
  9. Bake to Perfection
    • Follow the baking instructions on the pizza dough packaging. Typically, it’s the same bake time as a regular pizza, but you won’t par bake it as instructed on the tube.
  10. Serve and Enjoy
    • Italian Stromboli is traditionally served with red sauce on the side for dipping. However, feel free to experiment with your preferred dipping sauces!
