12 - 1 egg, beaten
13 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with salt, pepper, oregano, and garlic powder until fully browned. Drain excess fat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 16 inches.
04 - Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border along all edges.
05 - Evenly distribute the cooked beef, mozzarella, Parmesan, and pepperoni over the sauce in successive layers.
06 - Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log, pinching the seam and ends securely to seal.
07 - Place the stromboli onto the prepared baking sheet with the seam side facing down.
08 - Brush the top with beaten egg and drizzle with olive oil to achieve a golden, crispy finish.
09 - Using a sharp knife, make several diagonal slits across the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
10 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
11 - Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to help maintain filling integrity. Garnish with parsley if desired and serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
