- 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling
- In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with buffalo sauce, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Step 3: Roll Out the Dough
- Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface, approximately 12×16 inches.
Step 4: Layer the Fillings
- Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan (or Asiago), and blue cheese evenly over the ranch.
- Add the buffalo chicken, jalapeño slices, chives, and cilantro (or parsley) on top.
Step 5: Roll and Seal
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams and ends to seal.
- Place the stromboli seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6: Egg Wash and Sesame Seeds
- Beat the egg and brush it over the stromboli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and Italian seasoning.
Step 7: Bake
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the stromboli is golden brown and cooked through.
- Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Step 8: Serve
- Slice into pieces and serve warm with extra ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Leftovers: Wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the oven for best results.
- Spice Level: Adjust the spiciness by adding more or less buffalo sauce or omitting the jalapeños.
- Customization: Add cooked bacon or swap blue cheese for feta if preferred.
