Chicken Bacon Ranch Stromboli
Ingredients:
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 strips cooked thick-cut bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie chicken works well)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle, about 12x16 inches.
3. Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ranch dressing.
5. Distribute the diced chicken, crumbled bacon, and sliced red onion evenly over the cheese.
6. If using, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor.
7. Starting at one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log, sealing the edges and ends by pinching the dough together.
8. Transfer the stromboli seam-side down onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
9. Brush the beaten egg over the top to give it a golden, shiny finish.
10. Cut a few small slits on top to allow steam to escape.
11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
12. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
