Instructions

Preheat oven to 425° F. Line large rimmed cookie sheet with parchment or spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread pizza dough out on baking sheet to be approximately 10x16.
Spread pizza sauce over 2/3's of the dough lengthwise, leaving a 3x16 rectangle of plain dough along one of the edges.
Layer the salami, pepperoni, and cheese overtop the sauce.
Brush the plain strip of dough with the egg. Fold in the sides about an inch and brush them with egg.
Roll up like a jelly roll lengthwise starting along the long edge of dough topped with all the fillings and ending with the plain strip of dough on the bottom of the roll.
Brush the entire stromboli with egg and gently cut diagonal slits in the top of the dough every 1-2 inches.
Bake in the upper third of the oven for 15-20 minutes or until bubbly and golden.
Remove from oven, garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese, if desired.
Cool 5 minutes and slice into diagonal pieces along the slits that you cut earlier. Serve with more pizza sauce, if desired.

Notes

If your stromboli begins to burn before the inside is baked, your oven may run hot! Be sure to bake it in the lower half of the oven for best results. Alternatively, you can wrap in aluminum foil for the last part of baking.
