- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 30 slices pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle, about 12x16 inches.
- Step 2: Assemble the Stromboli

- Step 3: Roll and Bake
- Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil.
- Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Step 5: Garnish & Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
