Why I’ll Love This Recipe
I enjoy this recipe because it is easy to customize with my favorite pizza fillings and comes together with simple ingredients. I can prepare it ahead of time, slice it into generous portions, and serve it with marinara sauce for dipping. The crispy crust and gooey cheese make every bite incredibly satisfying.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Refrigerated pizza dough or homemade pizza dough
- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese

- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Black olives, sliced
- Italian seasoning
- Garlic powder
- Egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions
- I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- I roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
- I spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
- I layer the mozzarella and provolone cheeses evenly over the sauce.
- I add the pepperoni, cooked sausage, bacon, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and black olives.
- I sprinkle the filling with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- I carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one long side, and pinch the seams and ends closed.
- I place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the top with the beaten egg.
- I cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape, then sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese.
- I bake for 25–30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Variations

- I substitute ham for bacon to create a different farmhouse-inspired combination.
- I brush the baked stromboli with garlic butter for an extra flavorful crust.
Storage/Reheating
I store leftover Farmhouse Stromboli Pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, I freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
To reheat, I bake the slices in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10–15 minutes until heated through and the crust becomes crispy again. I can also use an air fryer for 4–6 minutes for excellent texture. While I can microwave individual slices, I prefer the oven or air fryer because they keep the crust crisp.
FAQs
Can I make the stromboli ahead of time?
Yes. I assemble the stromboli, cover it tightly, and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before baking.
How do I keep the stromboli from leaking?
I avoid overfilling the dough, leave a border around the edges, and pinch the seams tightly before baking.
What is the best dough to use?
I like using refrigerated pizza dough for convenience, but homemade pizza dough also works beautifully.
What can I serve with Farmhouse Stromboli Pizza?
I enjoy serving it with marinara sauce, a fresh Caesar salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic knots for a complete meal.
Can I freeze baked stromboli?
Yes. I let it cool completely, wrap individual slices tightly, and freeze them for up to 3 months. I thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
