Pizza Base
- 1 pound (550g) homemade pizza dough or store bought
Toppings
- ⅔ cup (155ml) ranch dressing
- 3 cups (340g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1½ cups (200g) chopped cooked chicken
- 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking a crispy crust.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 13-15 inch circle to fit your pizza pan evenly.
- Assemble Pizza: Place the rolled dough onto the pizza pan then spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough surface to create a flavorful base layer.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the ranch layer, followed by the chopped cooked chicken and crumbled cooked bacon strips evenly distributed.
- Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Notes
- Using homemade dough allows for fresher taste, but store-bought dough is a convenient substitute.
- Cook and crumble bacon ahead of time to save preparation time.
- For extra flavor, consider adding sliced green onions or a sprinkle of black pepper before baking.
- Check the pizza around 12 minutes to ensure it doesn’t overcook or burn depending on your oven.
