Equipment

  • 1 baking pan
  • 1 small pot
  • 1 large saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 head broccoli
  • ½ bag spinach
  • ¼ lb shredded provolone
  • ¼ lb shredded mozzarella
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 egg, white separated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Steam the broccoli for 5 minutes. Then in a large pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Add half the garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Then toss in the broccoli and saute for two minutes stirring often. Remove the broccoli and set aside. Chop it into bite-sized pieces.
  • Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and the rest of the garlic. Saute for a minute and then add the spinach. Saute the spinach for 1-2 minutes then set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375℉. Bring the pizza dough to room temperature. Spread it out by hand into a 15-17-inch circle.
  • Spread out the mozzarella and provolone cheese on the dough. Top it with the broccoli and spinach. Add the parmesan cheese. Roll the dough until you get halfway then fold in the sides and continue rolling.
  • Cut the rolled dough into 1.5-inch rolls and place the rolls in a greased cake pan or baking dish. Whisk the egg white and paint it onto the rolls. Season with garlic powder, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes.

Notes

  1. Slowly spread the dough out in order to avoid putting holes in the dough. You want to spread it out evenly so that no areas are thinner than others. 
  2. You can use grated mozzarella and provolone or sliced. 
  3. Always glaze stromboli with an eggwhite to get a golden-brown crust on the outside.
