Ingredients

Scale

Base Sauce Ingredients

  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons dry ranch seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed

Pizza Dough Ingredients

  • 300–400 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water

Toppings

  • 2 large fresh dill pickles, sliced
  • 14 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (for garnish)

Optional Garlic Ranch Sauce Enhancements

  • 1.5 tablespoons pickle juice (for extra tanginess)
  • Fresh herbs such as chives or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a hot cooking environment for a crispy crust and bubbly cheese.
  2. Make Garlic Ranch Sauce: In a large bowl, combine sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dry ranch seasoning, and dried dill weed. Mix well until smooth to create a flavorful garlic ranch sauce base. Set aside.
  3. Prepare Dough: In another large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, ensuring a lovely texture.
  4. Roll Out Dough: Roll the prepared dough to your desired thickness using a rolling pin. Transfer it onto a pizza stone or baking sheet for baking.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Spread a thin, even layer of the garlic ranch sauce over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then scatter the sliced fresh dill pickles on top, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.
  6. Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped dill over the top for extra flavor and aroma. Slice and serve hot.

Notes

  • For added tanginess, incorporate 1.5 tablespoons of pickle juice into the garlic ranch sauce.
  • Fresh herbs like chives or parsley can be added to the sauce for extra flavor complexity.
  • Use a pizza stone if possible for a crisper crust.
  • Adjust the dough thickness to your preferred crust style, thinner for crispier or thicker for chewier pizza.
  • This pizza is best enjoyed fresh and hot out of the oven.
