  • 2 teaspoons dried basil

  • Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Stir olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, basil, and onion salt into the yeast mixture. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour. Turn dough out onto a clean, well-floured surface and knead in remaining flour until dough is no longer sticky. Place dough into a well-oiled bowl and cover with a cloth. Let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • While the dough is rising, cut chicken into small chunks and place in a bowl. Add Parmesan cheese and ranch dressing mix and toss until chicken is well coated; set aside.
  • Punch dough down and form into a tight ball. Allow dough to relax for a minute, then roll on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut small strips down each side of the rectangle.
  • Scoop chicken mixture along the center of the dough between the cuts. Alternating back and forth, fold all dough strips over the chicken mixture as if you were braiding hair. Transfer to a lightly oiled baking pan and let rise for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes.
