Equipment

Ingredients

  • 400 g (14.1 oz) pack ready rolled pizza dough
  • 250 ml (9.1 oz) jar tomato and basil pizza sauce topper (I buy mine from Asda) or homemade easy pizza sauce
  • 100 g (3.5 oz) prosciutto slices
  • half a bunch of fresh basil
  • 75 g (2.6 oz) sun-dried tomatoes roughly chopped
  • 50 g (1.8 oz) black or green olives halved
  • 150 g (1 ⅓ cups) mozzarella cheese grated
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Unroll the pizza dough onto a sheet of baking paper. Spread 50ml of the pizza sauce over the top, leaving a border all around. Cover the sauce with slices of prosciutto and 12 large basil leaves, followed by the sun-dried tomatoes and olives. Scatter over the mozzarella, reserving a small handful for later.
  • Brush the dough edges with beaten egg then fold in the two long sides to encase the filling. Press down the seam and ends with a fork to seal. You should end up with a log shape. Turn the log over so that the seam is on the bottom and then transfer the stromboli on the baking paper onto a large baking tray.
  • Brush the stromboli with beaten egg, then scatter over the remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven onto a cooling rack and allow to sit for a couple of minutes before slicing into 8 portions. Scatter over the remaining basil leaves and serve with the rest of the pizza sauce.

Notes

  • Optional variations:
    • Pepperoni stromboli - swap the prosciutto for slices of pepperoni.
    • Chicken and pesto stromboli - mix cubes of chicken with basil or red pesto, scattered with grated mozzarella for the filling.
    • Vegetarian pizza stromboli - swap the prosciutto for your favourite vegetarian pizza toppings (try roasted red peppers, chopped mushrooms or sweetcorn).
    • Breakfast stromboli - fill with breakfast favourites like crispy bacon, slices of sausage, chopped mushrooms or beans.
    • Cheeseburger stromboli - fill with chopped up burgers, sliced onions, grated cheese and sliced gherkins, if you like!
  • Enjoy this stromboli as part of a picnic or a buffet selection at a party.
