1 pound pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup baby spinach, optional
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg, beaten for egg wash
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper evenly over it.
4. Layer the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and spinach (if using) over half of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses over the chicken and bacon.
6. Fold the empty half of the dough over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Make small slits on top of the stromboli for steam to escape.
7. Transfer the stromboli to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Brush the top of the stromboli with the beaten egg.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
10. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Variations & Tips
If you have picky eaters or dietary restrictions, this recipe is quite adaptable. For a lighter version, substitute the bacon with turkey bacon and use a low-fat cheese blend. Vegetarians in the family can replace the meats with a mix of bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms for a delightful veggie stromboli. Additionally, adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give it a nice kick for those who enjoy a bit of spice.
