Pizza Dough: The base of the stromboli, for a soft, chewy inside and a golden, crisp outside. You can use either store-bought or homemade pizza dough, as you like.
Cooked Chicken Breast: Stirred in shredded or chopped, this adds protein and a savory foundation to the filling. This is great with rotisserie, grilled or roasted chicken.
Bacon bits: Crispy add-on giving a smokiness to the ranch dressing creaminess. For a less fatty option, turkey bacon can also be used here.
Ranch Dressing: Works as a base sauce, introducing a tangy, herby flavor that makes for a really distinctive stromboli compared to more traditional recipes.
Mozzarella Cheese: For that classic and gooey stretchy cheese pull. Or use a mozzarella-cheddar blend for more flavor.
Parmesan Cheese: For garnish, lending a sharp and nutty flavor on top and crisping into a slightly crunchy crust with the olive oil.
Green Onions (Optional): The tiny bit of freshness and a touch of bite these provide really make the filling. If not, you can leave them out.
Olive Oil: Brushed on top of dough to add shine and help the Parmesan stick.
Salt and Pepper: Season to Taste, Bringing out the Chicken and Bacon Flavors.
All-Purpose Flour: For dusting the work surface as you roll out the dough, to keep it from sticking.
