A game-time snack for the group or a personal sandwich. The basic difference between a Stromboli and a Calzone, is that a "Strom" has ingredients like a hot baked Italian sandwich and the ""Zone" has pizza like ingredients (along with ricotta cheese) and a marinara dipping sauce on the side. Both are somewhat comparable, however.

Steps

20mins

1

Allow pizza dough to come to room temp. Preheat oven to 400˚.
2

Lightly dust dough ball, rolling pin, and surface with flour. Push your palm hard into the dough, turn it over, and repeat a few times. Roll out the dough to a pizza size circle.
3

Transfer to a flour dusted pizza peel if going into an oven on a pizza stone. Or, transfer to a baking tray.
4

Layer the provolone cheese, salami and pepperoni slices on one side of the dough.
5

Next, layer the tomato slices, basil, sweet peppers, and any other toppings. Top all of this with the mozzarella cheese.
6

Fold over the dough to cover all ingredients. Roll the edges up and press to seal. Lightly knead the edges with your thumb. Brush olive oil on top.
7

Place into the heated oven and bake for 13-14 minutes. Check on it a few times near the end for a golden brown color.
8

Allow it to cool a bit for the juices and cheese to congeal before slicing. [For two small individual ones, cut dough ball in half, roll them out, fill, wrap, and then bake]
