- 1 pizza dough (homemade or defrosted in refrigerator overnight)
- 1/2 cup (118 ml) buffalo wing sauce, divided
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) ranch dressing
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) olive oil
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a searing 425F (220C), creating the perfect heat environment for golden, crispy transformation.
- Shred or dice chicken, then marry it with buffalo wing sauce in a mixing vessel, adjusting spiciness to personal preference.

- Transform pizza dough into a generous rectangular canvas on a flour-dusted workspace.
- Lavishly spread the buffalo ranch fusion across the dough’s surface, ensuring complete coverage.
- Strategically distribute seasoned chicken, then cascade mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the landscape.
- Initiate a precise roll from the elongated edge, creating a tightly wound cylinder, meticulously sealing terminal points to prevent potential sauce escape.
- Position the rolled creation seam-side down on a prepared baking sheet, ready for thermal transformation.
- Slide into the preheated oven, allowing 30 minutes of intense heat to craft a burnished, crisp exterior.
- Grant the buffalo chicken bread a brief 5-10 minute resting period before slicing and presenting this flavor-packed delicacy.
