Olive oil

3 cloves garlic minced
1 pound spicy Italian sausage
1 pound pizza dough I used a tube of Pillsbury pizza crust

½ cup pizza sauce plus more for dipping if desired
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

For the topping

1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
¼ teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 F.
Saute the onion in a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Crumble in the sausage and cook until done.
Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Flatten the dough into a rectangular shape in a 10" x 13" low-rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silpat.
Sprinkle the dough with half of the mozzarella.
Add sausage and drizzle with the sauce.
Add remaining mozzarella.
Roll the dough up working from the longest edge.
Pinch the seam and edges, and place seam-side down onto the mat.
Combine the topping ingredients and brush over the top of the dough.
Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and bake for 18 minutes.
Let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with warmed pizza sauce for dipping if desired.

Notes

You can add any ingredients you want inside your stromboli, but stay away from anything that is wet. Wet ingredients should be patted dry with a paper towel first.
