Ingredients
  

For the Pizza:
1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup dill pickles, thinly sliced
1/2 cup garlic sauce or ranch dressing
Fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)
Optional Toppings:
Crispy bacon pieces
Red pepper flakes

Method
 

Preheat the Oven:
    Set your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up for a crispier crust.
      Prepare the Pizza Dough:
        Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
          Transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
            Add the Sauce:
              Spread a generous layer of garlic sauce or ranch dressing over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
                Layer the Cheese:
                  Evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
                    Arrange the Pickles:
                      Distribute the thinly sliced dill pickles evenly over the cheese.
                        Add Optional Toppings:
                          If desired, sprinkle crispy bacon pieces and red pepper flakes over the pizza for added flavor.
                            Bake the Pizza:
                              Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet.
                                Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
                                  Garnish and Serve:
                                    Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven.
                                      Sprinkle chopped fresh dill over the top for a fresh, herby finish.
                                        Slice and enjoy your homemade Pickle Pie Pizza!

                                          Notes

                                          Tips:
                                          • To prevent the pizza from becoming soggy, pat the pickle slices dry with a paper towel before adding them as toppings.
                                          • For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese and ensure the pizza dough and sauce are vegan-friendly.
                                          • If you prefer a gluten-free option, substitute the pizza dough with a gluten-free crust.
                                          Enjoy crafting this tangy and savory pizza that's sure to be a hit with friends and family!
