Oman today_ Stromboli is a delicious and popular Italian dish that resembles a rolled pizza. To make this dish, start by preparing the dough. You will need 1 cup of warm water, 2 ¼ teaspoons of dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, ½ teaspoon of salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and approximately 2 ½ cups of flour. Combine the yeast with warm water and sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes until it activates. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil, then knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size.
Once the dough is ready, roll it out into a rectangular shape on a floured surface. Spread ½ cup of marinara or tomato sauce over the dough, then layer it with 8 slices of ham, 10 slices of pepperoni, and 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella cheese. Roll the dough tightly into a log shape and place it on a baking sheet. Brush the surface with 1 beaten egg and make a few shallow cuts on top. Bake the Stromboli in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown.
For added flavor, you can include ½ cup of chopped mushrooms, ½ cup of diced bell peppers, or any other preferred vegetables. Additionally, before baking, you can brush the dough with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of melted butter and 1 minced garlic clove. This simple and delicious dish is easy to prepare at home, and you’ll love its incredible taste.
