Instructions
Prepare the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.

- Combine with the cooked sausage and garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Stromboli
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle.
- Layer the sausage mixture and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese on one side.
- Fold the dough over to enclose the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the top with olive oil and make a few slits to allow steam to escape.
Bake
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
Serve with a side salad or marinara sauce for dipping. For a crispier crust, place a baking tray with water at the bottom of the oven while baking. Experiment with different kinds of cheese for unique flavors.
