Either way, buckle up, pizza lovers – our Pickle-Infused Pizza is about to take you on a dill-iciously controversial and unforgettable ride! 🍕🥒

Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 15-20 minutes Serving size: 1 medium-sized pizza (8 slices)

Ingredients:

For the dough:

  • 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

For the pickle-infused sauce:

  • 1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle juice

For the toppings:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup sliced dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon (optional)
  • Fresh dill, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
  2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a medium-sized circle, about 12-14 inches in diameter.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the pizza sauce with the dill pickle juice until well combined. This is where the pickle magic begins! 🧪
  4. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the pickle-infused sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Time to add some toppings! Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the sliced pickles, red onion, and cooked bacon (if using).
  6. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Finally, garnish with fresh dill for an extra burst of pickle flavor!
  8. Grab a slice, snap a pic, and brace yourself for a dill-iciously controversial pizza experience! 📸😋

Variation Ideas:

  • Swap the bacon for pepperoni or Italian sausage for a different meaty twist.
  • Add jalapeños or banana peppers for an extra kick of heat and tanginess.
  • Experiment with different types of pickles, such as bread and butter pickles or spicy dill pickles, to find your perfect pickle-infused pizza flavor.
