Hands down, the flavor of homemade pizza dough in this recipe is out-of-this-world!
The bread in this Homemade Sausage Cheese Stromboli Recipe is soft and pillowy. I filled it with pre-cooked, spicy pork sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. And, I just couldn’t quit eating it!
For a kicked up version, add jalapeno peppers and Monterrey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese. You can even dice bell peppers and mushrooms to it.
It would be great for tailgating, snack or breakfast. Any time, actually. Ryder loves to drizzle honey over his, maple syrup would be good too!
Homemade Sausage Cheese Stromboli Recipe Tips
- Stromboli is an savory Italian turnover recipe. It is filled with meats, cheeses, and vegetables.
- I’ve seen stromboli folded like a calzone. I’ve also seen them rolled like I did.
- If you roll the bread as thinly as you can, especially the side that will be on the inside, it will cook better.
- Also, you’ll want to precook the meat for your stromboli.
- Try to make the stromboli the same diameter from end to center so it’ll cook through. Then, you’ll need to cook to dark golden brown so the inside of the dough is cooked.
- The beauty of stromboli is you can customize each one for your picky eaters. Try different meats like pepperoni, use your favorite cheese, try onions, peppers or olives!
