Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Stromboli
  • 1 lb 450 g pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced
  • 6 slices bacon cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup softened cream cheese or ¼ cup ranch dressing for a creamier filling
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or dried parsley
  • For Brushing
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
  • Optional Garnish
  • Fresh parsley chopped
  • Extra ranch dressing for dipping
  • Marinara sauce for serving

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Oven and Dough
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Roll the pizza dough into a rectangle about 10 x 14 inches on a lightly floured surface.
  5. Add the Creamy Base
  6. Spread the softened cream cheese (or ranch dressing) evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, and Italian seasoning evenly over the surface.
  8. Add the Filling
  9. Evenly distribute the cooked chicken over the dough.
  10. Sprinkle the chopped bacon over the chicken.
  11. Top with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
  12. Roll and Seal
  13. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  14. Pinch the seams and both ends tightly to seal.
  15. Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  16. Brush the top with melted butter or olive oil.
  17. Bake
  18. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  19. If desired, brush with a little more melted butter immediately after baking.
  20. Cool and Slice
  21. Allow the stromboli to cool for 7 minutes before slicing.
  22. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
  23. Serve warm with ranch dressing or marinara sauce.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for a quick shortcut.
  • Let refrigerated dough sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling.
  • Don't overfill the stromboli, or it may split during baking.
  • Seal the edges tightly to prevent cheese from leaking.
  • Allow the stromboli to rest before slicing so the filling stays together.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
