What is Stromboli?

Stromboli was invented back in the 1950s and named after a very popular movie at that time, which was called Stromboli.

Stromboli is an Italian dish, usually prepared with pizza dough and stuffed with fillings. The fillings can be anything from traditional pepperoni and cheese to Italian cold cuts.

Unlike the calzone, the stromboli is usually rolled, while the calzone is typically folded over.

Air Fryer Pepperoni Stromboli How to make

Start by laying out the pizza dough, and add about 2-3 tablespoons of the pizza sauce in the middle of the dough, and then sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
