Ingredients
Scale
Stromboli Dough and Spread
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional)
Filling
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (sliced or shredded)
- 6 slices deli ham
- 6 slices Swiss cheese
Toppings
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 14 inches, ensuring an even thickness for uniform baking.
- Assemble the Stromboli: In a small bowl, combine the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise if using. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled dough, leaving about 1 inch clear around the edges. Layer the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the mustard spread, then arrange the ham slices, followed by the cooked chicken across the dough surface.
- Roll and Seal: Fold in the sides of the dough towards the center, then carefully roll it tightly from one long edge to the other, forming a log shape. Pinch and seal the seams and ends well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- Add Toppings: Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top generously with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes to set before slicing.
- Serve: Slice the stromboli into portions and serve warm, optionally alongside a fresh side salad or dipping sauces such as honey mustard or marinara to enhance the meal experience.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken breast that is sliced or shredded for easier layering and a balanced texture.
- Mayonnaise is optional in the spread, but it adds creaminess and moisture to the stromboli.
- Ensure the dough seams are tightly sealed to prevent spilling of fillings during baking.
- Letting the stromboli rest after baking helps the filling settle and makes slicing easier.
- This stromboli can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
