Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled Italian sausage
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni approximately 2.5 ounces
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top
  • 1 8-ounce tube of refrigerated thin crust pizza dough
  • 1/3 cup marinara sauce plus extra for dipping
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning for added flavor

Instructions
 

  • Now, let’s roll up our sleeves and learn how to make Little Caesars Stromboli at home. It’s simpler than you might expect!

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

  • Start by gathering all the ingredients. Cook and crumble the Italian sausage beforehand if it isn’t already prepared. Slice your pepperoni as needed. Next, make sure your marinara sauce is ready for dipping.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). It’s important to have the oven hot and ready to create that perfect golden crust.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

  • Open the tube of refrigerated pizza dough. On a lightly floured surface, roll it out into a rectangular shape. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Gently stretch it with your hands if needed.

Step 4: Add the Fillings

  • Evenly spread the cooked Italian sausage and sliced pepperoni over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously on top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. The more cheese, the better!

Step 5: Roll It Up

  • Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough tightly over the fillings. Make sure to tuck in the edges as you go to prevent any escapes. Once it’s fully rolled, pinch the seams to seal it well.

Step 6: Bake the Stromboli

  • Transfer the rolled Stromboli onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the dough turns golden brown. You can brush the top with melted butter for added flavor if you like.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

  • Take the Stromboli out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into generous portions and serve it with the marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy this delightful dish fresh out of your oven!

Notes

To ensure your Stromboli is a hit, keep these tips in mind:
  • Don’t Overstuff: While it might be tempting to cram in more filling, it can lead to leaks. Be generous but reasonable.
  • Use Pre-Cooked Meats: This speeds up cooking time. Using pre-cooked sausage and pepperoni simplifies the process.
  • Experiment with Cheese: Feel free to mix in different types of cheese, like provolone or cheddar, for a twist!
  • Herbs and Spices: Don’t shy away from adding extra spices like oregano or garlic powder for depth of flavor.
  • Let it Cool: Allowing the Stromboli to rest before cutting helps it maintain its shape and makes it easier to slice.
