Stromboli is an Italian American dish that is like a rolled-up pizza. Making a stromboli involves a flattened-out dough that is filled with cheese, cold cuts, and vegetables and then rolled up into a cylindrical shape. Stromboli is often confused with calzones which are folded and have different kinds of stuffing, but both are basically rolled-out dough with a savory filling.

If you are wondering how to reheat leftover stromboli, keep on reading. While many people enjoy eating cold stromboli, just like cold pizza, warm stromboli is delicious and there are a number of ways to reheat them.

How To Reheat Stromboli in the Oven

This is a great way to reheat stromboli as it gets heated thoroughly without drying the dish out or making it soggy. The best way to reheat stromboli is to first let them sit out for about 30 minutes.

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Line a baking tray and place the stromboli on it and spray with a little oil.
  3. Put the tray in the oven and let it bake for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  4. Let the stromboli cool down a little before digging into it.

One of the reasons this is the best way to heat stromboli is that it comes out perfectly and evenly warmed. And the oven does not dry out the stromboli but retains its texture so that it tastes fresh. Especially if the stromboli has been baked in an oven, it makes the heating process simpler.

The biggest drawback of this method is that it is time consuming and does require a fair bit of prep.

How To Reheat Stromboli in the Toaster Oven

Just like the regular oven, the toaster oven works just as well in reheating stromboli. The toaster oven lets it heat evenly and fully and is easier to manage than the oven.

  1. Preheat the toaster oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. Place the stromboli on a lined baking tray and spray with a little bit of oil.
  3. Cover the stromboli in aluminum foil before putting them in the toaster oven, as this prevents them from drying out.
  4. If you are looking for a nice golden crust, dab some butter or oil on the stromboli first.
  5. Let the stromboli heat in the toaster oven for 20 minutes.
  6. Let them cool and enjoy.

The toaster oven method is easy and simple and the stromboli that comes out is heated up just right and has a nice crusty exterior, and perfectly warmed filling inside. Of course, getting the stromboli warmed up so well does require a bit of prep and effort but the results make it all worth it.
