If you're looking for a quick yet delicious meal option, look no further. This easy-to-make Stromboli recipe is not only perfect for air frying but is sure to impress your family and friends. Stromboli is an Italian-American invention, similar in concept to a calzone but rolled like a Swiss roll and baked to perfection. The air fryer adds an ideal crispiness without compromising the flavors inside.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of pre-made pizza dough
- 100g sliced Italian salami
- 100g sliced provolone cheese
- 50g sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- Flour, for dusting
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Ensure the dough is even and not too thick to ensure proper cooking in the air fryer.
Step 2: Assemble the Filling
Start by spreading the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the salami, cheese, and pepperoni evenly over the sauce. Sprinkle dried oregano and basil for added flavor. Finish by spreading the grated mozzarella on top.
Step 3: Roll and Seal
Starting at one long end, gently roll the dough like a Swiss roll, ensuring the filling stays inside. Pinch the seams and tuck the ends under to seal the Stromboli completely.
Brush the top with beaten egg to ensure a golden brown finish.
Step 4: Air Fry
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Carefully place the Stromboli inside, seam side down, and cook for 20-25 minutes. Check halfway through for even cooking. You want a golden, crispy exterior with gooey cheese inside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, remove from the air fryer and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve your Stromboli with a side of marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy this delightful meal.
Tips and Variations:
- Experiment with different fillings such as mushrooms, onions, or spinach for a vegetarian version.
- For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or chilli flakes to the filling.
- If using homemade dough, allow extra time for rising according to your recipe directions.
- Always preheat your air fryer for best results.
Stromboli is versatile and can be served as a main dish or an appetizer. It’s great for game nights, gatherings, or simply a family meal. The air fryer ensures a quick cooking time with minimal fuss, letting you enjoy a perfectly crispy and flavorful Stromboli any day of the week.
