# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - On a floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 by 16 inches.
04 - Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border along all edges.
05 - Evenly distribute cooked beef, mozzarella, Parmesan, and pepperoni over sauce in successive layers.
06 - Starting from one long edge, tightly roll dough into a log, pinching seam and ends to seal completely.
07 - Place stromboli on prepared baking sheet with seam side down.
08 - Brush top with beaten egg and drizzle with olive oil. Using a sharp knife, make several diagonal slits across top to vent steam.
09 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
10 - Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
