Scale
Stromboli
- 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 more for dipping
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1-2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to fully preheat while you prepare the stromboli.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan. Stretch it carefully into a rectangular shape, leaving about an inch of space on the ends and a third of the dough empty on either side.
- Add the fillings: Evenly spread 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese down the center of the dough. Next, layer on 1 ½ cups shredded rotisserie chicken, ½ cup chopped crisp bacon, and ½ cup ranch dressing over the cheese.
- Roll the stromboli: Fold over one empty side of the dough, then roll it tightly like a cinnamon roll, making sure to pinch the seams and ends together securely to prevent leaks during baking.
- Prepare the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large beaten egg with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash.
- Finish and bake: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the sheet pan. Brush the top generously with the egg wash. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley over the top. Cut a few slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake until golden: Place the stromboli in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Slice and serve with additional ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and flavorful option, but grilled or baked chicken can also work.
- To make the bacon crispier, cook it in a skillet beforehand or bake until fully crispy.
- If you prefer a spicier stromboli, add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the ranch dressing.
- Make sure to seal the dough well to avoid filling leakage during baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven for best texture.
