Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Dough: Bring pizza dough to room temperature (about 30 minutes). Sprinkle flour on a clean surface.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: Roll dough into a 12x16 inch rectangle, ensuring edges are even and not sticky.
  3. Layer the Cheeses: Lay provolone cheese slices evenly over dough, followed by layers of salami and pepperoni.
  4. Add the Shredded Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the cured meats without overloading.
  5. Roll Up the Dough: Gently roll the dough to create a tight log, pinching the seam closed.
  6. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Place the rolled Stromboli seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Vent the Stromboli: Cut several shallow diagonal slits across the top for steam to escape.
  8. Apply Egg Wash: Whisk egg with water, brush over the Stromboli, and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder.
  9. Bake to Perfection: Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden.
  10. Let it Rest: Remove from oven, let it rest for 5–10 minutes on a cutting board before slicing.
