Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) pizza dough
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) cooked chicken
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) bacon crisps
- 3 cups (720 milliliters) mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup (120 milliliters) Parmesan cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- Flour for rolling
Dressing:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) Caesar or Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Portion the pizza dough into six uniform segments, then gently stretch each piece into a thin rectangular shape on a lightly dusted work surface.
- Generously coat each dough rectangle with creamy dressing, maintaining a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during rolling.
- Layer shredded chicken, crispy bacon pieces, and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the dressing-covered dough, ensuring balanced distribution.
- Carefully roll each rectangle into a compact cylinder, sealing the edges to prevent filling from escaping during baking.
- Arrange the rolled chicken bakes on a lightly oiled baking sheet, positioning them seam-side down for stability.
- Brush the exterior of each roll with additional dressing, creating a golden surface when baked.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top, adding a savory and textured finish.
- Transfer the baking sheet to a preheated oven at 415°F and bake for 17-20 minutes until the exterior turns a rich, golden brown color.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, which helps the cheese set and prevents burning.
- Serve immediately while the cheese remains melted and the exterior is crisp and appetizing.
Notes
- Customize dough thickness by rolling out thinner or thicker depending on preference for crispy or softer texture.
- Use rotisserie chicken for quicker preparation and extra flavor boost without additional cooking time.
- Replace bacon with turkey bacon or omit for lighter version suitable for vegetarian or health-conscious diets.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations like cheddar or provolone to create unique flavor profiles matching personal taste preferences.
