# Ingredients:
→ Filling
01 -
8 oz shredded cheddar cheese
02 -
2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded
03 -
¼ cup ranch dressing
04 -
8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
05 -
½ cup buffalo wing sauce, split between two uses
→ Dough & Assembly
06 -
All-purpose flour for dusting surfaces
07 -
1 teaspoon olive oil
08 -
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, thaw if frozen)
# Steps:
01 -
Set your oven to 425°F. Prep a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
02 -
Mix the chicken with half of the buffalo sauce in a bowl. Add more sauce if you want it spicier or less if you prefer mild.
03 -
Combine the ranch dressing and the rest of the buffalo sauce in a small bowl, stirring until smooth and creamy.
04 -
Spread some flour on your counter. Roll your dough into a big rectangle, about 12x16 inches, keeping it sturdy enough to roll up later.
05 -
Spread the prepared buffalo ranch mixture over the dough, stopping about an inch from the edges. Add the chicken, and sprinkle both cheeses evenly on top.
06 -
Start rolling from one long side until you have a log. Pinch and seal the ends firmly so the filling doesn't escape while cooking.
07 -
Put the log onto the baking sheet with the seam touching the pan. Use a brush to coat the top with olive oil for a crispy, golden crust.
08 -
Place it in the oven for 30 minutes until the outside is golden and it sounds hollow if tapped. Ensure the inside reaches 190°F for proper cooking.
09 -
Let it cool down for about 5 to 10 minutes so the filling stays in place. Slice it up and enjoy while warm!
# Notes:
01 -
Cut down the heat by using less sauce or swap for a milder hot sauce.
02 -
Pinching the ends tightly is key to avoid spills during baking.
03 -
Pair it with ranch, blue cheese, or pizza sauce for dipping.
04 -
Rotisserie chicken is a great shortcut if you're short on time.
