1 loaf (450 g) frozen white bread dough, thawed and risen
02 -
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 -
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
→ Filling
04 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
05 -
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
06 -
1 medium yellow onion, diced
07 -
120 g mushrooms, thinly sliced
08 -
250 g deli roast beef, thinly sliced
09 -
8 slices (160 g) provolone cheese

10 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
11 -
0.25 teaspoon garlic salt
12 -
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
13 -
1 teaspoon dried parsley
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Place frozen white bread dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area until fully thawed and doubled in size. This usually takes several hours.
02 -
Dice green bell pepper and onion evenly. Slice mushrooms thinly. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, then sauté vegetables until softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
03 -
Heat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
04 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll the risen dough into a rectangle approximately 30 x 45 cm, maintaining an even thickness.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with garlic powder until well combined. Spread evenly over the dough, leaving a 1.5 cm border.
06 -
Arrange roast beef slices uniformly over the garlic mayo. Distribute the sautéed vegetables evenly, then top with overlapping provolone cheese slices.
07 -
Start at a long side and roll the dough tightly into a log, tucking any loose fillings as needed. Pinch the seam and ends to seal completely.
08 -
Place the log seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt, sesame seeds, and dried parsley.
09 -
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C. The cheese should be melted and bubbling.
10 -
Let the stromboli rest for 5 minutes. Slice with a serrated knife and serve warm.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure the dough is fully thawed and doubled in size before rolling to achieve a light, chewy texture.
02 -
Let the vegetable filling cool slightly before assembly to prevent a soggy base.
03 -
This dish can be prepared up to a day in advance and refrigerated before baking.
04 -
Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days when wrapped tightly.
