- Pepperchinis- add a great tangy flavor to the stromboli.
- Red pepper flakes- are always optional but adds a little kick.

Recipe Faq's
Stromboli is basically a rolled-up pizza crust using simple ingredients filled with various types of meat and or veggies and cheese. Baked to golden perfection then sliced into individual rolls. A Calzone is a pizza folded in half with edges crimped.
Absolutely not, you can leave out the black food coloring and just make the stromboli plain.
The best way to store sliced stromboli is in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat sliced stromboli in the microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. Or the Air fryer on 350 degrees for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Yes, a great way is to prep the stromboli mummy as directed then wrap the large baking sheet with foil. Let the stromboli come to room temperature for 15-20 minutes then bake as directed.
