Buffalo Chicken Bake (Printer-Friendly Format)

Golden stromboli roll filled with spicy buffalo chicken, ranch, and melted cheese, great for sharing and hearty meals.

# Ingredients Needed:

→ Chicken Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked shredded rotisserie chicken
02 - ½ cup buffalo wing sauce, divided

→ Sauce Mixture

03 - ¼ cup ranch dressing
04 - ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce

→ Dough and Cheese

05 - 1 ball pizza dough, thawed if frozen
06 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
07 - 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Toss shredded chicken with ¼ cup buffalo wing sauce in a bowl until evenly coated. Let sit to absorb flavors.
02 - Combine ranch dressing with remaining ¼ cup buffalo sauce until smooth and evenly blended.
03 - On a floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 12x15 inch rectangle. Let rest if it shrinks and reroll.
04 - Spread buffalo-ranch sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Distribute sauced chicken and sprinkle both cheeses evenly on top.
05 - Carefully roll dough from one long side, pinching seams and ends tightly to seal filling inside.
06 - Place roll seam-side down on greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush top with olive oil if desired. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 30 minutes until golden and hollow sounding when tapped.
07 - Let the roll rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing with a sharp serrated knife using gentle sawing motions.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Seal edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
02 - Letting the roll rest after baking helps maintain neat slices without filling oozing out.
03 - If dough shrinks while rolling, rest it briefly to relax gluten before continuing.
