09 -
200 grams mozzarella cheese, grated

50 grams parmesan cheese, grated

# Instructions:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic softens and becomes fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
02 -
Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in fresh minced dill, ranch dressing, salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Set aside.
03 -
Preheat oven to 245°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or place a pizza stone in the oven during preheating.
04 -
Roll pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin round, approximately 35 centimetres in diameter. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet or a parchment-lined pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
05 -
Spread prepared white sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a margin at the edge. Distribute mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, dill pickles, and diced bacon over the surface. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
06 -
Bake for 10–12 minutes, checking from 8 minutes, until crust turns golden and crisp, and cheese has melted and developed golden spots.
07 -
Remove pizza from oven and cool briefly. Slice and garnish with fresh dill just before serving. Enjoy while still warm.
# Notes:
01 -
For best results, use high-heat to achieve a crisp crust. A pizza stone enhances texture but is optional.
02 -
Dry sliced pickles with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture on the pizza.
