Buffalo Chicken Bread (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade), approximately 300 grams
→ Filling
02 -
300 grams cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie or leftover)
03 -
100 ml buffalo wing sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
04 -
60 ml ranch dressing (store-bought or homemade)
05 -
100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
06 -
100 grams shredded cheddar cheese (medium or sharp)
→ Finishing
07 -
15 ml olive oil (for brushing)
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
In a large bowl, thoroughly combine shredded chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch dressing until all the chicken is evenly coated. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
02 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll pizza dough into a 30 cm by 40 cm rectangle about 6 mm thick. If dough resists, let it rest for 5 minutes before continuing to ensure even thickness.
03 -
Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 2.5 cm border on all sides. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the chicken layer, pressing lightly to adhere.
04 -
Starting from the long edge closest to you, roll the dough tightly away from yourself. Tuck any escaping filling inside. Pinch the seam firmly closed and fold the ends under to seal completely.
05 -
Transfer the roll seam-side down onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil. Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 25 to 30 minutes until deeply golden and cheese is bubbling. Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Resting the bread before slicing prevents filling spillage and ensures clean portions.
02 -
For enhanced flavor, add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/2 teaspoon onion powder to the chicken mixture.
03 -
If dough tears when rolling, pinch it back together and continue rolling.
