Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded
- 1/2 cup cooked bacon, chopped
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread ranch dressing evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle diced or shredded chicken evenly over the ranch dressing layer, followed by chopped bacon pieces.
- Next, sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken and bacon, ensuring even coverage.
- Optionally, add chopped green onions for an extra burst of flavor.
- Starting from one of the longer sides, tightly roll the dough into a log, enclosing the filling completely. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
- Place the rolled Stromboli seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the surface with olive oil and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
- Make a few small slits on the top of the Stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the Stromboli from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into thick pieces.
- Serve warm and enjoy the delicious flavors of chicken, bacon, ranch, and cheese all wrapped up in a perfectly crispy crust.
