how long to bake stromboli
To bake a stromboli, preheat your oven to 375-400°F (190-200°C). The baking time typically ranges from 15 to 25 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of the stromboli. Here are some detailed guidelines:
-
Oven Temperature: Preheat your oven to 375°F for a slower bake or 400°F for a crisper crust.
-
Baking Time:
- Small Stromboli (serves 1-2): 15-20 minutes.
- Medium Stromboli (serves 4): 18-22 minutes.
- Large Stromboli (serves 6-8): 20-25 minutes.
-
Size and Fillings: Thicker dough and more fillings may require a few extra minutes.
-
Frozen Stromboli: If baking from frozen, increase the time by 5-10 minutes.
-
Done When: The crust is golden brown, and cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Resting Time: Let it rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set before slicing.
By following these steps, you’ll achieve a perfectly baked stromboli with a crispy crust and melted fillings. Rotate halfway through for even cooking.
