How to Make Sourdough Stromboli

Prepare the Sourdough Dough

Mix and knead the dough, then let it rise until puffy.

Roll Out the Dough

Shape the dough into a large rectangle, ready for filling.

Layer the Fillings

Add cheeses, meats, olives, red peppers, and herbs.

Roll and Seal

Roll the dough tightly and seal the edges well.

Brush and Bake

Apply egg wash, sprinkle sesame seeds, and bake until golden.

Cool and Slice

Let it rest briefly, then slice and serve warm.

Baking Tips

Use parchment paper to help roll the stromboli tightly without tearing the dough.

You can customize the filling with your favorite meats, cheeses, or even add sautéed vegetables.

Make sure the seam side is down when baking to prevent the stromboli from unrolling.

Let the stromboli cool for 10 minutes before slicing to prevent the cheese from oozing out too much.

Ingredients

Custard Cream

For the Dough:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup active sourdough starter

1/2 cup warm water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon sugar

For the Filling:

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup provolone cheese slices

1/2 cup thinly sliced salami

1/2 cup thinly sliced pepperoni

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup roasted red peppers, sliced

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

For Brushing:

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter, warm water, olive oil, sugar, salt, and flour. Knead into a soft, smooth dough, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise for 2-4 hours until slightly puffy but not necessarily doubled.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Roll out the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Layer mozzarella, provolone, salami, pepperoni, olives, red peppers, basil, and parsley, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Roll up the dough tightly like a jelly roll, pinching the seam and ends to seal.

Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.

Bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
