Farmhouse BBQ Chicken Pizza Rolls

• If frozen, follow instructions for thawing your pizza dough. If using refrigerated dough, place in a well oiled bowl, cover and allow to come to room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
• Lightly oil a large 9 or 10-inch round skillet or baking pan. Cast iron skillets work well for pizza. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the room temperature pizza dough to an 18×10-inch rectangle. If the dough springs back and won’t hold it’s shape, let it rest an additional 5 minutes, then roll again. Spread the BBQ sauce over the surface of the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border all around the edges.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of your favorite Dan & Debbie’s aged cheddar cheese evenly across the surface of the dough, then top with the cooked chicken, onion, and cooked bacon.
• Starting on the long side, roll the dough away from you into a tight cylinder, tucking and pulling just a bit as you go. Pinch the seams together to seal. Cut into 8 equal slices and place cut side down in the prepared pan.
• Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 400°F oven. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top and continue baking for another 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with additional BBQ sauce for dipping.

Notes

• You can substitute pizza sauce for the barbecue sauce, and use your favorite traditional toppings for a more traditional pizza roll taste.
• When cutting your pizza rolls, try using dental floss instead of a knife. It works amazingly well!
• Since these bake quickly you’ll need to pre-cook or sauté hearty vegetables before adding to the rolls. Vegetables like peppers and mushrooms need to be cooked first too. Finely minced onion is fine added raw.
• Pre-cook all meats used in the pizza rolls.
