Ingredients:

For the Stromboli:
1 lb chicken breast (cooked and shredded or diced)
1 cup cooked bacon (chopped)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough or 1 lb homemade pizza dough
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Egg Wash:
1 large egg (beaten)
1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Filling:
Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, chopped bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the ranch dressing until well mixed.
3. Prepare the Dough:
Roll out dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle (about 12×15 inches).
Season dough: Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, black pepper, and salt evenly over the dough.
4. Assemble the Stromboli:
Add filling: Spread the chicken, bacon, and cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Roll up dough: Carefully roll the dough up from one long side to form a log or cylinder shape, pinching the edges to seal and tuck the ends under.
5. Prepare for Baking:
Transfer to baking sheet: Place the rolled stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Egg wash: In a small bowl, mix the beaten egg with water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the stromboli to give it a golden, glossy finish.
6. Bake:
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. Cool and Slice:
Cool slightly: Allow the stromboli to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the filling set and makes slicing easier.
Serve: Slice into pieces and serve warm. You can serve it with additional ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping, if desired.
Tips:
Dough options: If you prefer, you can use homemade pizza dough or pre-made pizza dough from the store. Make sure to follow the specific instructions for rolling and baking if using a different type.
Add veggies: Feel free to add some sautéed onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the filling for extra flavor and nutrition.
Make ahead: You can prepare the stromboli up to a day in advance. Assemble it, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
