- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (optional, for serving)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup sliced salami
- 1/2 cup sliced ham
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Layer the ingredients:

Roll it up:

- Place the Stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Brush & Score:
- Brush with olive oil and egg wash, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Using a sharp knife, make small slits on top to allow steam to escape.

-
Rest & Serve:
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
