Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup cooked chicken, diced
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Mix the filling: In a small bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, crumbled bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, ranch dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley (if using), olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Assemble the stromboli: Spread the chicken and bacon mixture evenly over the surface of the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the stromboli: Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough, jelly-roll style, to enclose the filling.
- Prepare for baking: Place the stromboli seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
- Vent the stromboli: Using a sharp knife, make several shallow diagonal cuts on the top of the stromboli to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent filling from leaking out during baking.
- Adjust the amount of ranch dressing based on your flavor preference.
