1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup cooked bacon bits
1/2 cup Caesar dressing
1 lb pizza dough
Olive oil for brushing
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat Your Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking.
Prepare the Dough: Roll the pizza dough out into rectangular sheets, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Layer Your Ingredients:
- Spread a thin layer of Caesar dressing across the dough, leaving a border of about 1 inch on all sides.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly, followed by cooked chicken and bacon bits.
Roll and Seal:
- Gently roll up each piece of dough, tucking in the edges to ensure the filling remains sealed.
- Press along the seam to secure, and place the rolled dough seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Bake to Perfection:
- Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Final Touches:
- For extra crispiness, turn on the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes of baking, but watch closely to avoid burning.
