Homemade stromboli is easier than you think! 🍕 

All you need is Italian sausage, peppers, onions, marinara sauce, and fresh mozzarella cheese. If you've never worked with store-bought pizza dough before, it's super easy! Letting it rest for 20-30 minutes before will help the gluten in the dough relax, making it easier to work with.

Eat Well.

1. Prepare the pizza dough as instructed on the package and preheat the oven to 500°F.

Cover and simmer on low heat for 5-10 minutes. Set aside to cool completely. (It should not be too saucy).
 
3.  Spray a nonstick sheet pan with oil. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a floured surface to a 16 x 10 inch rectangle.

  • 4. Place the onions and peppers leaving about 1 1/2 inch from the edge. Top the sausage over the peppers and onions. Top with mozzarella cheese. Use the egg whites, brush along the edge of the dough.
  • Fold one side of the dough over to cover the filling, then the short edges, followed by the other side, stretching slightly to seal and pinch the ends.
