Ingredients
Scale
Base:
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Protein and Dairy:
- 1 cup chicken breast
- 1/2 cup bacon
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Seasonings and Condiments:
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking.
- Dust your work surface with all-purpose flour, then roll out 1 pound of pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread 1/2 cup of ranch dressing across the dough surface, leaving a border around all edges so your filling doesn’t spill out during rolling.
- Layer 1 cup of cooked diced chicken, 1/2 cup of chopped bacon, and 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ranch dressing.
- Sprinkle your 1/4 cup of chopped green onions over the filling if that sounds good to you.
- Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, then pinch and seal both the seam and the ends securely.
- Transfer your rolled stromboli seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top with olive oil, then sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese across the surface.
- Cut three or four shallow slits into the top of the dough to allow steam to escape as it bakes.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes until your crust turns golden brown and the cheese bubbles visibly.
- Remove from the oven and let your stromboli rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing into portions and serving warm.
Notes
- Seal your seams tightly by pinching them firmly with your fingers, as any gaps will let filling leak out during baking and create a mess on your baking sheet.
- Roll your dough to an even 1/4-inch thickness so the crust bakes uniformly without any thick or thin spots that cook unevenly.
- Use pre-cooked chicken and bacon to ensure they’re fully done inside the stromboli, since the baking time isn’t long enough to cook raw meat through safely.
- Let the stromboli rest for 5 minutes after baking before slicing, giving the cheese time to set so your filling stays inside each slice instead of oozing out.
