What's with the poppy seeds? Next time, try putting all of the meat and cheese on one side of the dough and then flipping the other side over the top and pinching down the sides together with a fork. Load the inside with ham, pepperoni, onions, peppers, mushrooms and cheese. And, cut a few slits across the top to let the moisture from the contents escape as it bakes.
What, you don't like poppy seeds?
Your way sounds more like a Calzone to me (see last three lines).
My bad, I did forget the slits.
I rolled pizza dough out in somewhat of a rectangle.
Put layer of provolone on one side, layer of ham on top, layer of mozzarella, and large size pepperoni for last layer.
Rolled it up starting on the meat cheese size, and folded ends under..
The slits do help, I have see the sandwich compiled a few way different ways, have seen turn-over and roll. They do the filling and cheese different back here then my West. To me, Calzone & Stromboli have a lot of similarities. Back here Calzone meat seems to be ham, and supposedly the difference between Calzone and Stromboli is the cheese. I have never heard of a Calzone having ricotta (or ham), but according to folks back here, that is the difference. Mayberry...time to get West again!
I would have no problem eating your Stromboli!
To me a Calzone is smaller, edges pinched, and eat it like a hot pocket.
And A Stromboli is bigger, cut in slices and dipped in Marinara Sauce.
If you use same ingredients, should be no difference in taste.
