Let’s take a closer look at some of the reasons why including this dish in your diet can have a positive impact on your overall well-being.
1. Good for digestion
The white bread dough used in Stromboli provides a good amount of fiber, which is essential for a healthy digestive system. Fiber helps regulate bowel movements, prevents constipation, and promotes satiety, which can be helpful in weight control.
2. Rich in nutrients

3. Lean protein source
Incorporating ham into stromboli adds a lean source of protein to your meal. Protein is essential for building and repairing tissue and producing enzymes and hormones. In addition, it helps you feel full for a longer period of time, reducing the risk of overeating or consuming unhealthy snacks.
4. Calcium-rich mozzarella
The shredded mozzarella used in this recipe is an excellent source of calcium. Calcium is crucial for maintaining strong bones and teeth and plays an important role in muscle function and blood clotting. Adding mozzarella to your stromboli is a delicious way to boost your calcium intake.
5. Antioxidant power of basil
Finally, adding a handful of basil leaves to stromboli not only contributes to its fresh taste but also provides numerous health benefits. Basil contains powerful antioxidants that protect the body from free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and can aid digestion and promote healthy skin.
