5. Fold and Seal the Dough:
- Fold the dough edges over the filling and then fold the top and bottom to seal the stromboli.
- Carefully place it seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Apply Egg Wash:
- Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
- Optionally, sprinkle with sesame seeds.
7. Bake:

A Heartwarming Memory of Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli with My Children
Cooking has always been more than just making food for my family—it’s about creating memories, sharing laughter, and passing down traditions. The first time I made Philly Cheesesteak Stromboli, it wasn’t just about the flavors; it was about the experience. I remember my children sitting around the kitchen counter, their little hands eager to help, their eyes filled with excitement as I rolled out the dough. They took turns sprinkling cheese and carefully placing the steak and vegetables, giggling every time a mushroom or slice of bell pepper landed outside the dough instead of inside.
The kitchen was filled with the comforting aroma of sizzling steak, onions, and peppers—scents that always remind me of home. As we waited for the stromboli to bake, they peeked into the oven every few minutes, impatiently asking, “Is it ready yet?” The golden-brown crust, the melted cheese stretching as we sliced into it, the warmth of that first bite—it was perfection. But more than anything, it was the joy in their faces, the way they proudly took a bite of something they had helped make, that made this meal so special.
Now, every time I make this recipe, I’m transported back to that moment. It’s not just about the cheesy, crispy, flavor-packed delight; it’s about the love, the togetherness, and the simple yet profound joy of sharing a homemade meal with the people I cherish most. Cooking this dish isn’t just a routine—it’s a reminder of laughter-filled afternoons, tiny flour-dusted hands, and the magic that happens when love is the main ingredient. ❤️
