Main Ingredients
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/2 cup chopped crisp bacon (about 12 slices)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing, plus extra for dipping
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's hot and ready for baking the stromboli.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper placed on a baking sheet, stretching it evenly.
- Add Cheese: Spread shredded mozzarella cheese evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch open at each end and open space on the sides.
- Layer Fillings: Top the cheese with shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped crispy bacon, and ranch dressing, distributing evenly.
- Roll Stromboli: Fold one empty side of the dough over the fillings, then tightly roll it up like a cinnamon roll, pinching seams and ends to seal well.
- Make Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash for glazing.
- Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the top with egg wash, sprinkle ranch seasoning and chopped parsley, then cut a few slits across the top for steam to escape.
- Bake: Bake the stromboli in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm with additional ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for convenience and great flavor.
- Make sure to pinch the dough seams tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the stromboli with egg wash before baking.
- Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for variety.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven for a crispy finish.
