  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden and crispy.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for cream cheese. You can also use Italian dressing instead of ranch for a different flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
