Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1 (8-ounce/226 grams) can thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing, plus extra for dipping
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- None specified
Optional Dipping Sauce:
- Ranch dressing (extra)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and arrange parchment paper on a large baking sheet for easy preparation.
- Gently stretch pizza dough across the parchment paper, ensuring an even, thin surface without any tears or holes.
- Spread ranch dressing evenly over the dough, maintaining a 1-inch border around the edges to prevent leakage during rolling.
- Distribute shredded chicken, crispy bacon pieces, and mozzarella cheese across the dough, covering the ranch-coated surface.
- Using the parchment paper as a guide, carefully roll the dough from the long side, creating a tight cylindrical shape.
- Position the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the baking sheet, neatly tucking the ends underneath to secure the filling.
- Create diagonal slits across the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape and promote even browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes until the exterior turns golden brown and the dough appears crisp.
- Remove from oven and allow the stromboli to cool for a few minutes to set the internal temperature.
- Slice the stromboli into sections and serve warm, accompanied by additional ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Choose a high-quality pizza dough for the best texture and flavor, ensuring it’s at room temperature for easier stretching.
- Consider using pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor to the stromboli.
- Crisp the bacon beforehand to prevent sogginess and enhance the overall crunch of the dish.
- Try different cheese blends like cheddar or pepper jack to create unique flavor profiles while maintaining the creamy texture.
