Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). -
Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Mixture
In a bowl, toss the cooked chicken with 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce.
Adjust the amount of sauce depending on how spicy you want it. -
Add the Ranch Flavor
Stir in the ranch dressing and the remaining 1/4 cup buffalo sauce until everything is evenly combined and coated. -
Roll Out the Dough
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the pizza dough into a long rectangular shape. -
Spread the Sauce Mixture
Spread the buffalo ranch mixture evenly across the dough. -
Add Chicken and Cheese
Sprinkle the buffalo chicken mixture over the dough, then top with the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. -
Roll Into a Log
Carefully roll the dough from one side to form a tight log. -
Seal the Edges
Seal both ends and pinch the seams so the filling does not leak during baking. -
Place on Baking Sheet
Put the log seam-side down on a greased or non-stick baking sheet. -
Bake
Bake for about 30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through. -
Rest Before Slicing
Let the bake rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set. -
