Recently, I’ve been working on perfecting my homemade pizza dough. I have made pizza after pizza. Not only working on a tasty combination of ingredients, but also the perfect cooking method. I finally got a recipe that I was absolutely thrilled with (that I will get published ASAP). Only instead of making pizza… I may have been pizza’ed out… I made this fun and totally delicious Fig & Mortadella Stromboli.
I had some mortadella beckoning me from my refrigerator. I had some leftover from a recipe that I was working on for Citterio. If you haven’t tried mortadella, you really must track some down to try. It is so flavorful and so good and I knew that it would be awesome in this stromboli. And, boy, was I right. The mortadella is slightly salty and meaty, and yet, still delicate.
I paired the mortadella with some fig jam, threw in some shredded mozzarella for some melty goodness, and then topped the stromboli with some grated parmesan cheese and chopped pistachios for crunch. This stromboli is an example of how delicious a sweet and savory combination can be. Also, it’s so straightforward and easy to make. Use store-bought pizza dough to make it even easier if you wish!
Let me show you how I made this Fig & Mortadella Stromboli 👇🏻
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone mat).
Roll out one batch of pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 10” x 14”). Your pizza dough can be homemade or store-bought.
Gently spread about 3 tbsp of fig jam across the pizza dough, leaving a little bit of a border.
Spread 4 oz of Citterio Mortadella slices across the pizza dough. It’s okay to overlap slightly.
Then sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella over the mortadella.
Roll your stromboli up lengthwise as tightly as possible (like a jelly roll). Pinch the ends together and tuck them under the stromboli.
Carefully move the stromboli to the prepared baking sheet. Cut a few slits into the top of the stromboli.
In a small bowl, whisk up 1 large egg. Brush the stromboli all over with the egg wash. Then sprinkle the top with 1/4 cup pistachios (shelled and chopped) and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until beautifully golden brown.
Let the stromboli cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy!!
