Time 48m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened, divided
1/4 cup KRAFT Classic Ranch Dressing
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
1 jar (7 oz.) roasted red peppers, chopped
1 cup KRAFT Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
5 slices OSCAR MAYER Fully Cooked Thick Cut Bacon, coarsely chopped
1 can (11 oz.) refrigerated thin crust pizza dough
1 egg
1 Tbsp. water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Reserve 4 oz. cream cheese for later use. Mix remaining cream cheese with dressing and garlic powder in medium bowl until blended. Add spinach, peppers, shredded cheese and bacon; mix well.
  • Unroll pizza dough onto lightly floured cutting board; press into 16x14-inch rectangle. Spread cream cheese mixture into 14x8-inch oval shape on center of dough. Fold dough over cream cheese mixture to completely enclose cream cheese mixture. Press edges of dough together to seal.
  • Cover dough with large sheet of parchment, then baking sheet; flip over. Gently press top of dough to even out surface of football. Starting about 2 inches from both ends of football, make 2-inch-long cuts, 1 inch apart, along both long sides of dough. Gently twist dough strips. Beat egg and water until blended; brush onto dough.
  • Bake 25 to 28 min. or until golden brown. Cool 5 min. Spoon reserved cream cheese into resealable plastic bag. Cut small piece off one bottom corner of bag; use to pipe cream cheese onto top of football for the laces.
