A Step-by-Step Guide to Making Stromboli in the Ninja Foodi

I’ve always been a fan of shaking things up on pizza night. So when I stumbled upon the idea of making Stromboli, that cozy Italian-American roll filled with gooey cheese, savory meats, and veggies, all snug in a crispy crust, I was all in. And guess what? I discovered you can absolutely nail making Stromboli in a Ninja Foodi. This handy kitchen gadget has been a game-changer for me, simplifying the process and guaranteeing perfect results every single time. Here’s my personal, down-to-earth guide on how to create a mouthwatering Stromboli right in your Ninja Foodi. Trust me, it’s a lot easier than it sounds, and the payoff is totally worth it.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we get started, let’s gather all the necessary ingredients. For this recipe, you’ll need:

• 1 pizza dough
• 1/2 cup of pizza sauce
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup of sliced pepperoni
• 1/2 cup of sliced ham
• 1/2 cup of sliced bell peppers
• 1/2 cup of sliced onions
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Olive oil

Preparing the Dough

Start by rolling out your pizza dough on a floured surface. You want to aim for a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Once your dough is rolled out, spread the pizza sauce evenly, leaving about an inch of space around the edges.

Adding the Fillings

Next, layer your fillings. Start with a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by your sliced pepperoni and ham. Add your sliced bell peppers and onions on top. Feel free to customize your fillings based on your preferences.

Rolling and Sealing the Stromboli

Now comes the fun part – rolling the Stromboli. Start from one end and carefully roll the dough towards the other end, making sure to keep the fillings inside. Once rolled, seal the edges by pinching the dough together.

Cooking in the Ninja Foodi

Before you place the Stromboli in the Ninja Foodi, brush it with an egg wash. This will give it a nice golden color. Then, lightly oil the Ninja Foodi basket to prevent the Stromboli from sticking.

Set your Ninja Foodi to the ‘Bake/Roast’ setting and preheat it to 375°F. Once preheated, carefully place your Stromboli in the basket and cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Serving the Stromboli

Once your Stromboli is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will make it easier to cut and will prevent the cheese from oozing out. Serve your Stromboli with some extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping.

Final Word

Making Stromboli in my Ninja Foodi turned out to be a fantastic experience. It’s a game changer for me, especially on those nights when I’m craving something hearty but also want to keep things simple in the kitchen. This method showed me that I don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to cook up something truly delicious. Every slice of Stromboli was just perfect, with the right amount of crunch and melt. Sharing this with family and friends made the meal even more special. So, from now on, whenever it’s pizza night, I’m thinking of mixing it up and going for this homemade Stromboli instead. It’s a small twist that adds a lot of excitement to our meals. Happy cooking, everyone!
