Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (store‑bought or homemade)
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 6–8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- ½ cup ranch dressing
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Optional: green onions or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly with cooking spray.
- Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12×16″).
- Mix fillings: In a medium bowl, combine cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, ranch dressing, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly coated.
- Assemble stromboli: Spread the chicken bacon ranch mixture down the center of the dough, leaving about 2″ of space on all sides. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella (and cheddar if using) evenly over the filling.
- Roll & seal: Carefully lift the long edge of dough and fold it over the filling, then continue rolling to form a sealed log. Pinch the edges tightly so none of the filling leaks out. Tuck the ends under.
- Egg wash: Place the stromboli seam‑side down on your baking sheet. Brush the top with beaten egg — this gives it a golden finish.
