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
Topping and Wash
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1-2 tablespoons water (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's ready for baking the stromboli.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan. Stretch it evenly to form a rectangle.
- Add cheese: Spread 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch of space at both ends and empty dough on either side about one-third the width.
- Layer fillings: Evenly distribute the shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped crisp bacon, and ½ cup ranch dressing over the cheese.
- Roll the stromboli: Fold one empty side of the dough over the fillings, then roll tightly like a cinnamon roll. Pinch the seams and ends together securely to seal.
- Make egg wash: In a small bowl, combine the beaten egg with 1-2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash for a golden crust.
- Position and glaze: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the parchment-lined sheet pan. Brush the entire top with the egg wash.
- Season and vent: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley over the top. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Serve: Let the stromboli rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with extra ranch dressing for dipping if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken or cooked chicken breast for convenience.
- For extra flavor, add sliced green onions or diced jalapeños inside the stromboli.
- If you prefer a crispier bacon texture, cook it a bit longer before chopping.
- The ranch seasoning can be found pre-made in stores or homemade using dried herbs like dill, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Make sure to pinch the dough seams tightly to prevent leakage of filling during baking.
- Allow the stromboli to cool slightly before slicing to keep fillings intact.
