Directions 👇👇
Prep the Dough & Sauce:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Make sure your oven rack is positioned in the center. ♨️
-
Lightly flour a clean surface and stretch or roll out your pizza dough into your desired shape (usually a circle) and place it on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
-
Using a spoon or ladle, spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Add Cheese and Toppings:
-
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce, making sure to cover the sauce.
-
Arrange the sliced dill pickles in a single layer over the mozzarella cheese. For even baking, distribute the pickles evenly on the pizza.
-
If you are adding bacon, sprinkle the cooked bacon pieces evenly over the pickles.
-
If desired, sprinkle minced garlic and red pepper flakes evenly over the pizza.
Bake to Perfection:
-
Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the pizza to prevent burning.
Garnish & Serve:

Once the pizza is done, carefully remove from oven using oven mitts.
-
Garnish with fresh dill. 🌿
-
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing it with a pizza cutter or large knife.
-
Serve warm and enjoy your unique creation.🍕
