Ingredients
Sauce Ingredients
- 1 clove garlic (grated on a Microplane or finely minced)
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 teaspoons buttermilk or water
- ½ teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
- ½ teaspoon dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pizza Ingredients
- 1 package (13 ounces) pizza dough, or homemade pizza dough
- 2-3 dill pickles (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 3 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to cook the pizza evenly and melt the cheese perfectly.
- Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine garlic, sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk or water, ranch seasoning mix, dill weed, pepper, kosher salt, and lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Prepare the Dough: Stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. You can place the dough on a pizza stone for a crispier crust or use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easier handling.
- Assemble the Pizza: Evenly spread the prepared garlic-dill sauce over the stretched dough. Top with thinly sliced dill pickles, shredded mozzarella, and sprinkle fresh grated parmesan over all.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 16-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust turns a golden brown color.
- Serve: Let the pizza sit for 2-3 minutes after baking to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
- You can substitute ranch seasoning with your favorite ranch mix or make your own for a fresher flavor.
- If you don’t have buttermilk, water is a fine substitute to adjust the sauce consistency.
- Adjust the number of dill pickles according to your taste preference for tanginess.
- Using a pizza stone can help achieve a crispier crust, but a baking sheet will also work well.
- This pizza is best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
