When I’m looking for a fast dinner for the family, I often turn to homemade pizza. My kids would eat pizza every day if I let them! In an effort to switch things up a bit, I took the pizza concept and rolled it up – into a stromboli! This easy stromboli recipe is pizza dough that’s filled with ham, cheese and broccoli, then rolled into a loaf and baked. It’s a fun dinner that’s a cinch to put together and is most definitely kid approved!

This stromboli recipe starts with the dough. I recommend using store bought pizza dough to same time, you can choose your favorite brand. I prefer to use the kind that comes in a tube for this recipe because it’s already in a rectangle shape when you unroll it. The dough is spread onto a sheet pan and topped with diced ham, cheddar cheese and broccoli. I use Smithfield Anytime Favorites Hickory Smoked Boneless Ham Steak for my stromboli; it’s so convenient! Smithfield Anytime Favorites come in 20 different cuts and are perfect for quick and easy meals, especially during back to school season! Select Smithfield Anytime Favorites are available in grocery stores nationwide; I always have one or two on hand in the fridge for when I need to throw dinner together in a hurry.

There are two ways to make your stromboli loaf. You can simply roll it up and seal the ends, or you can fold strips of dough over the top to make a pretty pattern. It’s actually really easy to make the pattern, just use a pizza cutter to make strips of dough along the edges, wrap it, and bake!

I brush the top of my stromboli with an egg wash to ensure a shiny brown crust. After the stromboli comes out of the oven, simply slice and serve!

My whole family loved this meal – it’s full of classic flavors served in a fun way. This stromboli recipe is most definitely going into our permanent dinner rotation!
