Print Recipe

A unique twist on traditional pizza featuring tangy dill pickles and aromatic garlic atop a creamy white sauce and gooey cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (about 110°F)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 16 dill pickle chip slices
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • Crushed red pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. In a medium bowl, sprinkle the instant yeast over the warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the olive oil, salt, sugar, and flour, along with chopped dill.
  4. Knead the dough for 1-2 minutes until it forms a cohesive ball.
  5. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest while making the sauce.
  6. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute.
  7. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, followed by the milk, until the sauce thickens (about 4-5 minutes).
  8. Once thick, stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and remove from heat.
  9. Roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle and spread the white sauce over it, leaving a border for the crust.
  10. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese across the sauce and arrange pickle slices on top.
  11. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and browned.
  12. While the pizza bakes, mix the creamy garlic sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  13. Once baked, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and additional dill, drizzle with the creamy garlic sauce, and serve.

Notes

For a fluffier crust, allow the dough to rise for 30 minutes before rolling out. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
