Every single person in my family has turned into a pizza connoisseur.  We eat it, we make it, and we constantly try to improve our recipes.  My father has joked that he currently has more pictures of pizza than his own kids on his phone (although I don't think he's actually kidding!).  We've even upped our pizza game recently and bought a steel pizza plate and flaxseed oil to season it.

My homemade pizza skills could still use some work.  I'm getting there slowly but surely.  But one thing I've tried to make recently and seemed to ace is stromboli!  A stromboli is basically a rolled up calzone and, in my opinion, a bit easier to make than trying to get a perfectly formed pizza.  Just stretch the dough out, filled it, roll it up, and cook until it's golden brown and crispy!

My parents used to make this amazing spinach and mushroom calzone.  It was made with a balsamic spinach and mushroom mixture made with onions and mozzarella cheese.  So good!  Since I'm on a stromboli making kick, I was inspired by that flavor combo and recently made a Spinach and Mushroom Ricotta Stromboli that ended up being really delicious!

Spinach and Mushroom Ricotta Stromboli

Stromboli is really easy to make!  Whip up a quick, sautéed spinach and mushroom filling.  Then, stretch out refrigerated pizza dough (or you could make your own!) and fill it up with ricotta cheese, the spinach and mushroom mixture, and shredded mozzarella.  In under an hour, you've got yourself a golden, crispy, and delicious stromboli!

First, take out your pizza dough and let it come to room temperature.  It'll be easier to stretch.  Now, we've got to make our filling.  Heat some olive oil in a skillet and add the spinach, mushrooms, and onion.  Season everything with salt and pepper and cook until the mushrooms and onion have softened. Remove from heat and set aside.

Add a drizzle of olive oil to a 9x13 pan, or sheet pan, wiping it onto the surface and sides of the pan.  Place the pizza dough into the pan and stretch it into a big rectangle. Spread the ricotta over the dough leaving a border around the edge of the dough.  Then, spoon the spinach and mushroom mixture on top and follow with the garlic powder and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Carefully roll up the dough, tucking the ends underneath.  Brush the stromboli with egg wash and sprinkle some Italian seasoning on top.

Cook the stromboli in the oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until it's golden brown and crispy.  Let the stromboli cool down a bit before slicing it into pieces.

This stromboli is good on its own, but I love serving stromboli with warmed up marinara sauce for dipping.

    This was really easy, yummy, customizable, and pretty fast. I used frozen spinach and added canned mushrooms. The Italian herbs up top gave this a special edge. My picky kid loved it! Thanks!!

      I'm so glad to hear that, Lisa! Sorry about the mix up! I wrote out that step in my post, but forgot to pop it in the recipe card. All fixed now! The garlic powder goes on when you add the spinach and mushroom mixture and the mozzarella cheese.
