Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Cook the Filling:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef (or steak) until browned. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper (if using), and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté until veggies are softened and the mixture is nicely browned. Let cool slightly.
2️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pizza dough onto the sheet and gently stretch it into a large rectangle.
3️⃣ Layer the Good Stuff:
Spread the cooled meat and veggie mixture evenly over the dough, leaving about 1 inch around the edges. Top with shredded cheese.
4️⃣ Roll It Up:
Starting on one long side, carefully roll the dough into a log (like cinnamon rolls, but savory!). Pinch the seam and ends to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
5️⃣ Bake It Up:
Brush the top with beaten egg (or garlic butter if you’re feeling fancy). Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
6️⃣ Slice and Devour:
Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thick, hearty pieces. Serve warm—melty cheese and all.
Pro Tips for Stromboli Success:

FAQ About Cheesesteak Stromboli:
Can I use real steak?
Absolutely! Thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin is perfect—just cook it quickly so it stays tender.
Can I freeze it?
Yes! Bake, cool, and freeze slices individually. Reheat at 375°F for 10–12 minutes.
What cheese works best?
Provolone is traditional, but mozzarella, white American, or even pepper jack work great.
Troubleshooting & Tips:
- Dough tearing? Patch it up and brush with extra egg wash—it’ll still bake beautifully.
