Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie chicken preferred)
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Caesar dressing
- 1 package pizza dough (room temperature)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder or Italian herbs for seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Shred the cooked chicken and chop the bacon into small pieces. Ensure the pizza dough is at room temperature for easy rolling.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Assemble: Spread Caesar dressing evenly over the center of the dough, leaving edges for sealing. Layer the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and mozzarella cheese on top. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
- Shape the Bake: Carefully roll the dough over the filling, tucking the ends under to seal completely. Pinch the seams tightly to prevent leakage.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the roll seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For a golden crust, brush with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bake rest for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
Notes
- Seal the Edges Well: Ensure the dough is tightly sealed to prevent the cheese and filling from leaking during baking. Pinching the seams firmly is key!
- Let the Dough Rest: Bring the pizza dough to room temperature before rolling it out; cold dough is harder to work with and may tear.
- Customize Freely: Adjust the fillings to your preference! Add veggies like spinach or peppers for a twist, or try different dressings like ranch or garlic aioli for varied flavors.
