For the dough:
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
For the pizza:
- 1 cup garlic butter ranch dressing, or creamy white sauce (choose one)
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sliced dill pickles thinly sliced
- ¼ cup crispy bacon bits optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill optional
- ½ teaspoon red chili flakes optional, for a spicy kick
For garnish (optional):
- Fresh dill
- Drizzle of ranch dressing
- Light sprinkle of Parmesan cheese
Prepare the dough:
In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
Add the flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a towel and let it rise for 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the pizza base:
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone.
If using store-bought dough, let it rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before rolling.
Add the sauce:
Spread a thin, even layer of garlic butter, ranch dressing, or creamy white sauce over the pizza dough using a spoon or a brush.
Add cheese and pickles:
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the base.
Layer the thinly sliced dill pickles on top of the cheese, making sure every slice has a pickle bite.
Add optional toppings:
If desired, sprinkle crispy bacon bits, fresh dill, and red chili flakes over the pizza for added flavor and texture.
Garnish and serve:
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh dill, a drizzle of ranch dressing, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
Slice and serve while hot!
