Ingredients
Stromboli Sticks
-
1 package (13–14 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
-
10 mozzarella cheese sticks
-
30 thin slices pepperoni
Garlic Butter
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
-
¼ teaspoon salt
For Serving
-
Marinara or pasta sauce, warmed
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
-
Roll pizza dough into a 13 x 10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in half crosswise, then cut each half into 5 equal strips.
-
Place one mozzarella cheese stick in the center of each strip. Top with three slices of pepperoni.
-
Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal, forming a stick.
-
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt.
-
Arrange stromboli sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with garlic butter.
-
Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
-
Brush with additional garlic butter immediately after baking, if desired.
-
Serve warm with marinara or pasta sauce for dipping.
Notes
-
Seal the dough tightly to prevent cheese from leaking.
-
Brush garlic butter before and after baking for extra flavor.
-
Best served warm for maximum cheese pull.
