How to Make Buffalo Chicken Roll-Up
Pizza Dough Instructions
Activate the yeast
In a small bowl, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 3-5 minutes until foamy.
Mix the dry ingredients
Using a stand mixer, mix the flour and salt on low speed.
Combine wet and dry ingredients
Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead the dough
Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead at medium speed for about 6 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise
Transfer the dough to a greased mixing bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free spot (like a turned-off oven or microwave) to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough
Gently punch down the risen dough before using.
Buffalo Chicken Roll-Up Instructions
Prepare the chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper.
Cook the chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until fully cooked through.
Add the Buffalo sauce
Stir in 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of Buffalo wing sauce. Simmer until the sauce thickens, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Chop the chicken
Place the cooked chicken in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
Roll out the dough
On a floured surface, roll the pizza dough into a long rectangle.
Layer the chicken
Spread the chopped chicken evenly over the dough.
Add dressings and cheese
Drizzle Buffalo dressing and ranch dressing over the chicken, then spread with a brush. Sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar cheese generously on top. For extra spice, drizzle additional Buffalo wing sauce over the cheese.
Roll the dough
Roll the dough tightly, pinwheel-style, and seal the edges by pinching them together. Tuck in the ends.
Bake the roll-up
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place the roll-up on the sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Cool and serve
Let the roll-up rest for 5 minutes before slicing into pieces. Serve warm with celery, carrots, and your favorite dipping sauces.
