Stromboli is an Italian-American dish combining elements of pizza, calzone, and sandwich. Pre-made versions are available in markets, but homemade options are generally superior. To achieve a crispy texture rather than a soggy one, it’s essential to cut slits into the top of the dough before baking to allow steam to escape. Additionally, sealing the dough edges and brushing the top with melted butter mixed with seasonings contribute to flavor and crispiness. Various recipes can be adapted, including classic pepperoni and cheesesteak variations.
Cutting slits in the top of the stromboli before baking allows steam to escape, preventing sogginess and ensuring a crispy outer crust.
To further enhance crispiness, brush the top dough with melted butter mixed with Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan, or minced garlic for added flavor.
