We'll cover everything from choosing the right dough to mastering that perfect buffalo chicken filling.

What Makes This Buffalo Chicken Pizza Dough Wrap Recipe So Special?

This recipe isn't just another buffalo chicken wrap; it's a culinary upgrade. Here's what sets it apart:

  • Crispy Pizza Dough Base: We're using pizza dough, not tortillas. This gives the wrap incredible texture and a delicious, slightly charred flavor.
  • Flavor-Packed Buffalo Chicken: We'll build a flavorful buffalo chicken filling with juicy chicken, tangy buffalo sauce, creamy ranch dressing, and melted mozzarella cheese.
  • Easy Customization: Feel free to add your favorite toppings! Bacon bits, jalapeños, red onions, or even a sprinkle of blue cheese crumbles would all be amazing additions.
  • Perfect for Any Occasion: This recipe is versatile enough for casual get-togethers, game day celebrations, or a fun family meal.

Ingredients You'll Need:

  • For the Pizza Dough: You can use store-bought pizza dough for convenience, or make your own from scratch if you're feeling ambitious. (We'll provide a quick homemade dough recipe as an optional addition below.)
  • For the Buffalo Chicken Filling:
    • 1 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
    • 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce (your favorite brand!)
    • 1/4 cup ranch dressing
    • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • Optional toppings: bacon bits, jalapeños, red onions, blue cheese crumbles

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature. If making your own, follow the recipe below (or your favorite recipe).
  2. Prepare the Buffalo Chicken Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, buffalo wing sauce, and ranch dressing. Mix well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a large, thin rectangle. Spread the buffalo chicken mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle generously with mozzarella cheese and any optional toppings.
  4. Bake: Carefully transfer the assembled wrap to a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Cut and Serve: Let the wrap cool slightly before cutting into smaller portions. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Optional: Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe (makes enough for 2 wraps)

  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  4. Add olive oil to the dough and knead for another minute.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Tips for Success:

  • Don't overfill: Too much filling can make the wrap difficult to roll and bake properly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the flavor!
  • Get creative with toppings: Experiment with different toppings to find your perfect combination.

This Buffalo Chicken Pizza Dough Wrap is guaranteed to be a hit at your next gathering. Enjoy!
