Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups coarsely grated swiss or gruyere cheese (6 ounces)
- 1 cup thinly sliced string cheese (4 ounces)
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1 13.8-ounce package refrigerated pizza dough
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 3/4 cup pitted green or black olives, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/4 pound sliced mortadella, cut into 1/2-inch-wide ribbons
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mix 1 cup of the swiss cheese with the string cheese.
- Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Unroll the dough, cut in half to make two 6-by-9-inch pieces and place on the prepared pan.
- Spread half of the mixed cheese along one long side of each rectangle, leaving an inch border between the cheese and dough edge. Top each mound of cheese with half of the basil, a quarter of the olives, 1/4 cup tomato sauce and a third of the mortadella. Fold the dough over the filling lengthwise, pressing the edges to seal. Make slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake the stromboli until brown, about 15 minutes; remove from the oven. Brush each with olive oil, then scatter the remaining olives, mortadella and cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese melts and the crust is golden. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

This was a nice change for Stromboli. I make my own pizza crust so I didn’t used pre-made. I used the swiss cheese, mortadella, shredded mozzarella, pizza sauce, and the rest of ingredients that the recipe called for. I wish I would have used some left over roasted tomato sauce instead of the pizza sauce, but it may not have made a taste difference. It was still very good and I’ll be doing it again.
Good and easy!
I carmalized onions and added them to it and instead of mortadella I used ham equally as good. For group of ladies I made taco ones and meatball ones. Have fun adding new things to the pizza dough… it’s great!
Wow how good is this?!?! The tomato sauce melds into the melty cheese so it isn’t soggy, you can mix it up with changes in the veggies, meats, and cheeses. I used some Milano salami and loved it. this is so simple I gave it to a friend of mine with 2 kids and a full time job and now she is making it instead of ordering pizzas on friday nights.
Wow, you made this? Who makes their own Stomboli? Pillsbury pizza dough make this so easy to make. Can’t wait to start being creative with future ones I make.
Wow! Delicious and fun to make! I did substitute Jimmy Dean sausage for the Mortadella. Very good!
I made this for dinner and i was so good. I was a little worried because I had never heard of the meat and I was in a time pinch so I used pillsbury dough in the tube. But it actually turned out really good. The tomato sauce does not make it soggy like one person thought it might. I used reg black olives and kalamata and it was great. You do need that extra kick of a stronger olive, so I’m glad I put the kalamata in. I asked my family if this would be something they would want again and they all yelled yes.
Think about it. In Mexico , Japan, Germany, Poland, etc…., food gets put inside dough and baked. The stromboli recipe should be a starting point for all of us who like pizza, burritos, wellington, etc.
During the summer, my husband enjoys shrimp/lobster, veggies and mild cheese inside the stromboli. During cold weather, hamburger, onions, cheese and chopped tomatoes inside the stromboli. Imagine … left over mac and cheese with some peppers, veggies, etc. inside dough and baked for crunch.
Point…try the stromboli and have fun.
I didn’t change anything in the recipe…it is very, very tasty.
WE MADE THE STROMBOLI WITH OUT OLIVES AND THOUGHT IT WAS VERY GOOD.WE NEVER MADE ANTYHING LIKE THIS BEFOR AND HAD A GOOD TIME PUTTING IT TOGETHER.NEXT TIME I WILL TRY MUSHROOMS AND GREEN PEPPERS.
