Ham and Salami Stromboli Recipe | Easy Game Day Recipe

Ham and Salami Stromboli Recipe | Easy Game Day Recipe | Moms Need To Know ™ (2024)

by Mindi Cherry

My husband and sons love anything that involves the combination of meat, cheese and bread and in the winter it just seems like we are running around so much during the week with basketball practices, Variety Show practice, Brownie meetings, etc. This is one of my go-to recipes for a busy weeknight or when we want something "snacky" (it's a word!) to watch the game!

I always have some of my homemade pizza dough (as well as my homemade pizza sauce) in the freezer for when I make something like this, but you can just as easily use store-bought for both. Just FYI - if you often make pizza or strombolis at home, you really should try my pizza dough recipe and freeze it. Just wrap the balls individually and when you want to use them, pull as many as you need out of the freezer and allow them to thaw and rise again. You won't be sorry!

Hennyway, to make this homemade stromboli, you will need:

Ingredients:

1 Refrigerated Pizza Dough or your homemade recipe for pizza dough

1 teaspoon Basil
2 oz sliced Provolone
2 oz sliced Mozzarella
2 oz sliced Ham
2 oz silced Genoa Salami
1 Egg
2 tablespoon Water
2 tablespoon Grated Parmesan

Making it is easy!

Top with your meats and cheeses

Starting at the long end (and with the edge that has the salami, as that is harder and will be easier to roll in the beginning). When you get to the end, tuck over the edges and seal the dough. Brush with egg wash

Love your recipes! Do you think you could prep this and freeze it? My girlfriends and I make freezer meals once a month, and this would be fun!

  absolutely! just wrap them up in clear wrap once you have rolled them (and before you make the "slashes"). When you want to cook them, pull them out of the freezer, let them haw for at least an hour or so, make the "slashes" and bake as normal!
