# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Combine yeast, warm water, and sugar in a bowl. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, garlic powder, and olive oil. Knead until smooth, adding flour if needed. Let rise until doubled.

Roll out dough into a 10x16-inch rectangle. Leave a 3-inch gap on one long side and 1-inch border around others.
03 -
Brush surface with melted butter, minced garlic, and pizza sauce.
04 -
Layer salami, provolone, pepperoni, and mozzarella over the dough, keeping inside the borders.
05 -
Roll tightly from long side toward the 3-inch gap. Tuck ends underneath to seal.
06 -
Place seam-side down. Brush with egg wash. Sprinkle with Parmesan and parsley.
07 -
Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Cool slightly before slicing.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use low-moisture mozzarella for best melt and texture.
02 -
Homemade dough provides a sturdier base for heavy fillings.
03 -
Let dough rise in a warm environment like a preheated oven or warm microwave.
04 -
Stromboli can be made ahead, refrigerated, or frozen before baking.
