Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 10×14 inches.
- Add toppings: Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Layer on the cheeses, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes. Arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese.
- Roll the stromboli: Roll up the dough jelly-roll style into a log, tucking in the ends. Transfer to the baking sheet seam-side down.
- Brush with egg wash: Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake: Cut slits in the top, then bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
- Rest and serve: Let the stromboli rest before slicing. Garnish with parsley and serve with extra sauce.
