# Ingredients:

→ Dough & Seasonings

01 - 1 pound pizza dough
02 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
03 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
04 - 1 egg, beaten

→ Buffalo Chicken Filling

05 - 1 cup cooked shredded chicken
06 - 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
07 - 1/2 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped
08 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
09 - 1 jalapeño, seeded and chopped

→ Cheese

10 - 1/2 cup ranch dressing
11 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional)
12 - 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella
13 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
14 - 1/2 cup grated parmesan or asiago cheese

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a bowl, combine the chicken, buffalo sauce, cilantro, chives, and jalapeño.
03 - Divide the pizza dough into 4 balls. On a floured surface, roll each ball into about an 8-inch circle/oval. Spread each piece of dough with ranch, then add buffalo chicken on top in an even layer. Top with equal amounts of mozzarella and cheddar. Drizzle with additional buffalo sauce, if desired. Tuck in two sides of the dough, then roll up into a log (like a cinnamon roll), pinch to seal. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
04 - In a bowl, combine the parmesan, sesame seeds, and Italian seasoning. Brush the tops of the stromboli with the beaten egg, then sprinkle with the parmesan mixture. Take a sharp knife and cut 2 small slits in the top of each stromboli.
05 - Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375° F and bake another 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve with additional buffalo sauce and/or ranch.

01 - Homemade buffalo sauce and ranch dressing can be substituted for store-bought versions.
