Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Dough
- 1 (13.8 ounce) tube refrigerated pizza crust
Sauce
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
Toppings
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup thinly sliced dill pickles, patted dry
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a pizza pan or baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Crust: Unroll the refrigerated pizza crust onto the prepared pan, shaping it evenly to cover the surface with a slight border for the crust.
- Make Sauce Base: In a small bowl, combine the ranch dressing and minced garlic thoroughly, then spread this mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving the crust border bare.
- Add Cheese: Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the ranch and garlic mixture, ensuring good coverage.
- Top with Pickles: Arrange the thinly sliced dill pickles evenly across the cheese layer to distribute their flavor throughout the pizza.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped dill for an herbaceous finish. Slice and serve hot for best flavor.
Notes
- Patting the pickle slices dry is crucial to avoid a soggy crust.
- Fresh dill is optional but adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the pickles.
- You can use other types of cheese, such as mozzarella blends or provolone, for different flavor profiles.
- Adjust garlic amount to your taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.
- For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the pizza crust for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
