• With a fork, poke the potatoes.
• Place the potatoes on a plate and microwave for five minutes on each side.
• In a bowl mix the chicken, ranch dressing, bacon, and cheddar cheese.
• Carefully place the potatoes on a baking sheet, and slice them half way down.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.
• Lay out bacon slices on a parchment-lined sheet tray. Generously brush each slice with Frank's Red Hot Original. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until bacon is browned and cooked through. Drain bacon on a paper towel, keeping the hot sauce brushed side facing up. Set aside.
• Place a large piece of plastic wrap on a large cutting board (the entire board should be covered with plastic). Place 1 slice of bread in the upper left corner of the board. Brush the right edge of the bread with whisked egg, then place a second slice of bread next to the first so that it overlaps with the egg wash. Press the two seams of bread together with fingers to seal. Repeat with the rest of the bread, forming 3 rows of 4 slices, brushing with egg wash and pressing to seal wherever the slices overlap. This will form a large rectangle of bread.
• Use a rolling pin to roll out the bread rectangle as thinly as possible.
• In the center of the rectangle, lay out half of the chicken in a row. Top with a drizzle of ranch dressing. Arrange half of the bacon slices on top (horizontally), followed by half of the sliced cheese and half of the spinach. Repeat layering with the rest of the ingredients.
• Brush the top edge of the sandwich roll with whisked egg. Roll the entire sandwich up from the bottom to form a long log. Wrap log tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Lower oven temperature to 350ºF.
• Mix together melted butter and ranch in a small bowl. Unwrap the sandwich log, place on a sheet tray, and brush sandwich surface with ranch butter.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until bread is lightly golden and cheese is melted.
• Slice and serve. (Optional: Serve with more ranch for dipping.)
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes cloudy and slightly foamy.
• Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the bowl with the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.
• Wipe the large bowl clean and lightly coat with remaining oil. Place the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel.
• Set in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
• Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC), and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Once risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch the dough into a 12x22-inch (30x56 cm) rectangle.
• Layer the ranch, chicken, bacon, and cheddar in the center of the rectangle, lengthwise, leaving 1-2 inches (2 ½-5 cm) on the top and bottom.
• Slice the dough in half through the center, lengthwise.
• Fold each piece's center edge towards the outer edge and pat down, creating a long roll-up.
• Slice each roll into 4-5 equal pieces. Pinch the edges closed on all the pieces and place on sheet tray.
• Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
• Serve immediately or allow to cool, then freeze in an airtight container up to 1-2 months.
• To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
• Enjoy!
