ย Directionsย ๐๐
Prep the Dough & Sauce:
Preheat your oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Make sure your oven rack is positioned in the center. โจ๏ธ
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. ๐ฟ
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing it with a pizza cutter or large knife.
Serve warm and enjoy your unique creation.๐
