Instructions
Making Chicken Bacon Ranch Stuffed Bread is a delightful process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Chicken: In a skillet, cook the chicken over medium heat until no longer pink. Shred the chicken and place it in a large mixing bowl.
3. Cook Bacon: In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Once cooled, crumble the bacon and add it to the chicken mixture.
4. Combine Ingredients: To the bowl with chicken and bacon, add ranch dressing, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Prepare Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the refrigerated bread dough into a rectangle (approximately 14 x 10 inches).
6. Fill the Dough: Spread the chicken-bacon mixture evenly over the rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Roll the Dough: Carefully roll the dough tightly from one long side to the other. Pinch the ends to seal.
8. Prepare for Baking: Place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the top of the dough for a beautiful golden finish.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
12. Slice and Serve: Cut into thick slices and prepare to enjoy!
