Ingredients: 1 recipe pizza dough (or store bought)
2 TB olive oil
1 c. garlic pizza sauce
4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
16 oz dill pickle slices, drained and patted dry
dried or fresh dill, for garnish
Garlic Pizza Sauce
1 Tbsp olive oil
4 cloves (2 tsp) garlic, minced

Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 500°F and oil two sheet pans. Shape your dough into 2 10-12″ circles, place on the sheet pans and brush the tops with olive oil, leaving about 1″ around the edges for the crust. At this point you can either roll the edges to create a thicker crust or leave as is. Set aside to rise for 10 minutes.
Top each pizza with 1/2 c. garlic pizza sauce, 2 c. shredded mozzarella and half of the dill pickle slices. Sprinkle a generous amount of dill on each, then bake for 5 minutes on the bottom rack. Transfer to the top rack and continue baking for another 5-10 minutes, or until the top is dry and the bottom is golden brown. You can use a fork to gently lift the pizza to check the bottom.
Cut into slices and serve!
Garlic Pizza Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, place the olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly so the garlic doesn’t brown. Add the Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and stir.
Sprinkle in the flour and whisk quickly until it is a thick paste. Let cook and bubble for another 1-2 minutes.
Stir in the half and half 1/2 c. at a time, whisking constantly. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir, then turn the heat to low and let simmer 5-10 minutes to thicken. Serve warm or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days until ready to use. |
