Ingredients

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
Topping and Wash
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1-2 tablespoons water (for egg wash)
- 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- Additional ranch dressing for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the stromboli.
- Roll Out Dough: Roll the refrigerated pizza dough out on a piece of parchment paper placed on a sheet pan, stretching it to form a rectangle.
- Add Cheese: Spread 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella evenly down the center of the dough, leaving about an inch of space at each end and roughly a third of the dough empty on either side.
- Layer Fillings: Top the cheese with the shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped crisp bacon, and ½ cup ranch dressing evenly.
- Shape Stromboli: Fold over the empty side of the dough, then roll it tightly like a cinnamon roll, pinching the seams and ends well to seal the stromboli.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with 1 to 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash.
- Apply Egg Wash and Season: Place the stromboli seam-side down on the sheet pan, brush the top with the egg wash, then sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning and 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley. Cut a few slits on top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake: Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the dough is cooked through.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly, slice, and serve with additional ranch dressing for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- Use cooked and shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience and flavor.
- Make sure to crisp bacon well before adding to avoid sogginess.
- Rolling tightly and sealing edges properly ensures filling stays inside while baking.
- Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking on the sheet pan.
- You can substitute ranch dressing with vegan ranch to make the recipe dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- If refrigerated dough is not available, homemade pizza dough can be used.
