Stromboli Filling
- 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
Dough and Topping
- 1 (13.8-ounce) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1-2 tablespoons water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's ready for baking the stromboli evenly.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan, stretching it out evenly.
- Add Cheese: Spread 1 ½ cups of shredded mozzarella evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch space at both ends and a third of the dough empty on either side.
- Layer Filling: Top the cheese with shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped crisp bacon, and ranch dressing, spreading evenly.
- Roll Dough: Fold one of the empty sides over the filling, then tightly roll the dough like a cinnamon roll, pinching the seams and ends firmly to seal.
- Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with 1-2 tablespoons of water. Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the sheet pan and brush the top with the egg wash.
- Season and Vent: Sprinkle ranch seasoning and chopped fresh parsley over the top. Cut a few slits across the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Remove from oven, let cool slightly, then slice and serve with additional ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for quick, flavorful shredded chicken.
- Make sure to pinch seams tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- An egg wash creates a glossy, golden crust.
- Adjust ranch dressing amount to taste; you can add more inside or on the side for dipping.
- For crispier bacon, cook bacon in advance until fully crisp before chopping.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated and reheat nicely in the oven or air fryer.
