Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a large bowl, combine:
- Shredded chicken
- Crumbled bacon
- Mozzarella cheese
- Cheddar cheese
- Ranch dressing
- Garlic powder
- Onion powder
- Black pepper
- Parsley
Mix until evenly combined.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle approximately 12 x 15 inches.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Spread the chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around all sides.
Step 5: Roll the Dough
Starting from the long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
Pinch the seams and ends closed to keep the filling inside.
Step 6: Transfer to Baking Sheet
Place the roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7: Apply Egg Wash
Whisk together the egg and water.
Brush the mixture over the entire bread roll.
This helps create a golden, glossy crust.
Step 8: Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes or until:
- The bread is golden brown
- The cheese is melted
- The internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
Step 9: Cool Slightly
Allow the bread roll to rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
This helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
Step 10: Serve
Slice into thick portions and serve warm.
Drizzle with additional ranch dressing if desired.
