Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in ¼ cup of fresh dill and 1 cup of ranch dressing, mix until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Roll out 1 ball of pizza dough into a 14-inch circle, then transfer onto the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Spread a layer of creamy garlic-dill ranch sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border for the crust. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and ¼ cup of grated parmesan cheese on top. Add sliced dill pickles, crispy bacon, seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  5. Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, checking for doneness around the 8-minute mark, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes, garnish with fresh dill, slice, and serve warm.
