Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli (Printer-Friendly Version)

Golden stromboli with roast beef, sautéed vegetables, and melted provolone for a hearty, flavorful meal.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Bread and Dough

01 - 1 frozen white bread loaf, fully thawed

→ Spreads and Sauces

02 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
03 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
05 - 1 medium yellow onion, diced
06 - 4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced

→ Dairy

07 - 8 ounces provolone cheese, sliced

→ Meats

08 - 8 ounces thinly sliced deli roast beef

→ Fats and Oils

09 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Seasonings and Toppings

10 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt
11 - 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
12 - 1 teaspoon dried parsley

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Place the frozen white bread loaf into a greased bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area until fully thawed and doubled in size, approximately 2 to 3 hours.
02 - Dice the green bell pepper and yellow onion evenly. Thinly slice the mushrooms. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter, then sauté the vegetables until soft and lightly browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
03 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly to prevent sticking.
04 - On a lightly floured surface, roll the risen dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 18 inches, ensuring an even thickness without tearing.
05 - Combine the mayonnaise and garlic powder in a small bowl, mix until smooth, then spread evenly across the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border.
06 - Arrange the roast beef slices evenly over the mayo spread. Scatter the sautéed vegetables on top, followed by overlapping slices of provolone cheese.
07 - Starting at one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, tucking in fillings as needed. Pinch seams and ends firmly to seal.
08 - Place the roll seam-side down on the baking sheet. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush generously over the top. Sprinkle the garlic salt, sesame seeds, and dried parsley evenly.
09 - Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
10 - Allow the stromboli to rest for 5 minutes to set, then slice with a serrated knife and serve warm.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Cool the sautéed vegetables before assembling to prevent sogginess of the dough. Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
