Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400ºF. While the oven is heating, finely chop the yellow onion and green bell pepper.

In a skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper until they become translucent, approximately 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape. Make sure it's large enough to hold the filling.

Brush the rolled-out dough with an egg wash made by whisking the egg with a tablespoon of water. This will give the crust a beautiful golden color when baked.

Lay the provolone and American cheese slices evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges. Next, add the sautéed onion and bell pepper mixture, followed by the sliced or shaved beef and chopped pickled jalapeños. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.

Carefully roll the dough tightly from one end to the other, ensuring that the filling stays inside. Pinch the ends closed and place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking. Optionally, brush the top with more egg wash.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-28 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

For best results, use fresh pizza dough and allow the filled stromboli to rest for about an hour before baking. This helps the flavors meld together and allows the dough to rise slightly for a fluffier texture. Additionally, Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli includes a delightful combination of cheeses and sautéed vegetables that enhance the overall flavor profile.

Additionally, experiment with different cheese and meat combinations to suit your taste. Enjoy your homemade Philly cheesesteak stromboli with marinara or cheese Whiz for dipping!
