Ingredients
Pizza dough: Dough, homemade or purchased, is the pizza’s base. Typical ingredients for pizza dough include flour, yeast, salt, and water; the dough is then rolled out and stretched to fit a pizza pan or stone.
Pizza sauce: Pizza sauce, often made from tomatoes, coats the crust before toppings are added. Garlic, Italian seasoning, and other herbs and spices are common flavourings, and they may be found both in stores and in handmade versions.
Mozzarella cheese: Pizzas typically include mozzarella cheese, a type of cheese. It takes on a stretchy consistency and tastes mild and creamy in its melted state. Shredded mozzarella cheese is a typical pizza topping, and it is customarily sprinkled above the sauce before any other toppings are added.
Bacon: Bacon is a cured and cooked form of the pig that is often thinly sliced and seasoned with salt, sugar, and other spices. It takes on a smoky, salty flavour and a little crunch when cooked. Crispy bacon is fried and then crumbled for this pizza.
Dill pickles: Cucumbers are pickled in vinegar, salt, and dill to create dill pickles. They’re crisp and have a tangy, almost sweet flavour. Dill pickles are cut and put atop the cheese on this pizza.
Fresh dill: Dill is a herb with a mild, sweet taste and a subtle licorice aftertaste when it’s new. It’s a common ingredient in pickles and other condiments because of its tangy, refreshing flavour. Fresh dill is sliced and put on top of the cooked pizza.
Instructions
These are the steps you need to take to prepare a delicious dill pickle bacon pizza at home:
- First, turn your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). The pizza crust will bake up nice and crispy if you do this.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a wide circle or rectangle on a lightly floured board. Use premade dough or mix flour, yeast, salt, and water to make your own. The dough should have a thickness of about 1/2 an inch.
- Put the dough on a baking tray or pizza stone. It’s what the pizza will bake on, making the crust nice and crisp.
- To make pizza, spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1- to 2-inch border around the borders. Diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning can be simmered on the stovetop until thickened to produce a quick and easy homemade sauce, or you can use your favourite jarred brand. Distribute the sauce evenly over the dough; a few lumps are acceptable.
- Shredded mozzarella cheese should be sprinkled atop the sauce. This will serve two purposes: it will assist in keeping the other toppings in place and offer a creamy, tasty element to the pizza.
- Place the dill pickle slices, and bacon crumbles on top of the cheese. You can bake or fry the bacon until it’s crispy, then crumble it up. Thinly slicing the dill pickles will ensure they bake evenly and don’t overpower the other ingredients.
- Pizza should be baked in a preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling. Depending on your range and the thickness of your dough, you may need to adjust the baking time.
- Chopped fresh dill should be sprinkled atop the cooked pizza. This will provide each bite with a tangy, refreshing flavour and counteract the saltiness of the bacon and pickles.
- Cut the pie in half and serve immediately. Enjoy! Your friends and family will go crazy for this creative spin on a traditional dish: dill pickle bacon pizza.
