Absolutely a dream to work with this Stromboli Dough recipe from Fleischmann’s Yeast is a keeper!
Why is this Stromboli Dough Recipe Amazing?
Sunday’s are my day to play around in the kitchen. Yesterday I decided to make this Stromboli dough recipe. My Southern born and raised neighbour didn’t know what Stromboli was. I tried my best to explain that it was dough with a filling in it.
Neighbour …So it’s like a burrito. Me:…Well…yeah kind of, an Italian burrito..sort of? If you’ve never had a Stromboli or never made homemade Stromboli dough before, this post is for you.
We’re going to gather the ingredients and make homemade Stromboli Dough together today. After the dough is made, we’re going to fill it with ingredients, bake it and enjoy every single bite. Let’s get started!
Stromboli Dough Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 envelope yeast
- 3 1/4 – 3 3/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons salt
- 1 cup water between 110 – 115 degrees
We start the Stromboli Dough recipe by placing 2 cups of flour, the dry yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Stir the ingredients together to combine them.
Add the warm water and olive oil to the bowl. Beat the ingredients together with an electric mixer until they are well combined, about one minute. The recipe uses 3 1/4 to 3 3/4 cups all purpose flour. That’s an amount range of flour, not an absolute. You may not add all the flour. Your goal is to add enough flour to make a slightly sticky dough while mixing. When the Stromboli dough leaves the sides of the bowl and gathers around the beaters, stop beating, you’ve added enough flour.
The Next Steps for the Stromboli Dough
Remove the dough from the bowl onto a slightly floured surface. Knead the dough, adding flour until your dough is slightly tacky. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise about 20 minutes while you prepare your fillings. The dough has one short rise time.
My dough sat covered with a tea towel on the counter right where I kneaded it, I let it rest for about 20 minutes. It didn’t need to be punched down. The dough was soft and extremely easy to roll out, it was a dream, really it couldn’t have been easier to work with.
What Kind Of Fillings Can I Put Into My Stromboli?
The meat that goes into a Stromboli needs to be a cooked meat, which makes this a great way to use any leftover chicken, beef or pork that is already baked, fried or grilled. Fresh diced vegetables and seasoning can also be used.
My fillings consisted of browned hamburger, sauteed green and red peppers with onions and shredded mozzarella cheese on top of a thin layer of tomato sauce. It was my choice to use a thin layer of sauce in the Stromboli, it’s all about what you want in your Stromboli, make it your way.
I served it with a side of tomato sauce for dipping as well. It was delicious! This is an easy to make, economical dinner your whole family with love. Below is a list of possible filling ingredients to get those creative juices flowing!

After you have your filling picked out divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each dough portion out on a floured surface into a 10×8 inch rectangle. Place your fillings down the center of each rectangle lengthwise, leaving a one inch space around the dough without filling on it. Fold the short ends in then fold the long sides together, crimping the dough tightly to keep it together.
Place the Stromboli on a greased baking sheet or place a piece of Parchment paper on a baking sheet and place the Stromboli on it. Place the baking sheet into a preheated 375 degree oven and bake the Stromboli for 20 – 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove it from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
