Ingredients

🍞 1 pound pizza dough
🫒 2 tablespoons olive oil
🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🧀 Provolone cheese (slices, as desired)
🌿 Fresh spinach (handful)
🍗 Grilled chicken (sliced, as desired)
🧀 Mozzarella cheese (shredded or slices, as desired)
🥚 1 egg, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
🌰 Sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1- Preheat the Oven:

• Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.

2- Prepare the Dough:

• Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, approximately 12x15 inches.

3- Add Flavor to the Dough:

• Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with the garlic powder.

4- Layer the Ingredients:

• Start by placing slices of provolone cheese across the dough.
• Next, layer a handful of fresh spinach leaves.
• Follow with an even layer of sliced grilled chicken.
• Top with mozzarella cheese.

5- Roll the Stromboli:

• Starting from a longer side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
• Tuck in the ends and seal them to preserve the filling.

6- Prepare for Baking:

• Place the Stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Cut 5 to 6 slits on top to allow steam to escape.
• Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle sesame seeds if using.

7- Bake:

• Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

8- Rest and Serve:

• Remove the Stromboli from the oven. Let it cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and slice into pieces. Serve warm with your favorite pizza or marinara sauce.
