Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon, crumbled
Cheese:
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Seasoning and Coating:
- 1/2 cup caesar dressing
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal non-stick surface.
- Gently stretch pizza dough into a generous rectangular shape, ensuring even thickness across the surface.
- Generously distribute Caesar dressing over the dough, maintaining a small perimeter around the edges to prevent leakage during rolling.
- Create a uniform layer of protein and dairy by evenly distributing shredded chicken, crispy bacon pieces, and blended cheese varieties across the dressing-coated surface.
- Carefully roll the dough into a compact cylinder, applying gentle pressure to create a tight, secure form.
- Seal the edges by pinching and pressing, ensuring no filling escapes during baking.
- Position the rolled creation seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet for stability.
- Delicately brush the exterior with egg wash to achieve a glossy, golden-brown finish.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the exterior transforms into a crisp, amber-colored shell.
- Allow the chicken bake to rest for a few minutes, enabling internal temperatures to stabilize.
- Slice diagonally into manageable portions and serve while warm for optimal flavor and texture.
Notes
- Customize the dough by using whole wheat or gluten-free pizza dough for dietary preferences.
- Try different protein options like turkey, ham, or plant-based alternatives for varied flavors.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to streamline the cooking process and reduce day-of stress.
- Allow the baked roll to rest for a few minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape and prevent filling from spilling out.
