When in doubt - wrap it in pizza dough

This recipe has been on my list for a long time. I'm not sure why I kept shoving it back because honestly it was so simple. I used a frozen hunk of pizza dough from the store. Aldi sell them now which is great. Often I'll check to see if they are still frozen, if so - grab a couple! Sometimes they are growing and rising right out of the box at the store! This recipe can be customized how ever you see fit. All the deli meat could be changed, you could add mustard if that's your think, sautéed veggies? Sure! A little sauce if that's how you like things. I kept it simple thinking my family might want to dip in pasta sauce - no one did. They all loved it as it was. I know Andy likes a dish when he keeps whittling away at it, take slice by slice. Then declared - "the left overs are perfect for my lunch tomorrow". Yay! Let's wrap more things in pizza dough - what's next?

Homemade Stromboli
1 ball of pizza crust dough
3 tablespoon butter (unsalted, melted)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
8 ounce deli meat (such as ham, salami, or peperoni slices)
6 ounce shredded mozzarella cheese
6 ounce shredded cheddar cheese
4 green onions chopped

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Butter and Herbs: In a small bowl add the melted butter, garlic, parsley and whisk well.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a brush, brush the ½ the butter mixture over the entire surface of the pizza dough to within ½ inch of the edges.
Layer Filling: Layer with meats and shredded mozzarella cheese, leaving a 1-inch border around.
Roll up the Dough: Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side, then pinch the seam to seal. Tuck the ends under and place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush with Butter: Brush the top of the roll with remaining butter mixture.
Bake and Serve: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Garnish with parsley if preferred. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
