Italian Stromboli: A Savory Rolled Delight

1. Can I use a different type of dough for Stromboli? Yes, you can use pre-made puff pastry or even homemade bread dough for a different texture. Just be sure to adjust baking time as needed.

2. How do I prevent the Stromboli from getting soggy? Make sure to properly seal the edges of the dough and avoid overloading it with too many moist ingredients like tomatoes. Using a thicker layer of cheese can also help absorb moisture.

3. Can I freeze Stromboli? Absolutely! You can freeze an unbaked Stromboli. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then bake from frozen, adding an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time.

4. Can I use a store-bought marinara sauce? Yes, store-bought marinara works just fine, but you can elevate it by adding some extra seasoning like Italian herbs, garlic, or red pepper flakes for an added kick.

5. How can I make the crust crispier? To get a crispier crust, bake your Stromboli on a pizza stone or preheated baking sheet. This helps to create an even heat distribution and a more golden crust.
