Pickle Pie Pizza Recipe
How to Make Pickle Pie Pizza: A Step-by-Step Recipe
Ingredients
For the Pizza Base:
- 1 pizza dough (homemade or pre-made)
- ½ cup pizza sauce
For the Toppings:
- ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cheddar cheese optional
- 1 cup sliced or chopped pickles
- pepperoni, grilled chicken, sautéed onions, or bacon optional
- Additional seasoning: red pepper flakes, Italian herbs, or garlic powder optional
Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- If making homemade dough, follow your preferred recipe. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet, shaping it into a circle or rectangle.
Prepping the Pickles:
- Choose your pickles based on flavor preference: dill for tanginess, bread-and-butter for sweetness, or sweet pickles for a unique twist.
- Slice the pickles thinly or chop them into small pieces for even distribution.
- Pat the pickles dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and prevent a soggy crust.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread a thin, even layer of pizza sauce (or mustard/vinegar-based sauce) over the dough.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce, adding cheddar cheese if desired for extra depth.
- Evenly layer the pickles across the pizza, ensuring every bite has a perfect pickle-to-cheese ratio.
- Add any optional toppings, such as pepperoni, chicken, onions, or bacon. Avoid overcrowding to maintain balanced flavors.
Bake the Pizza:
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes. Watch for the crust to turn golden and the cheese to melt and bubble.
- For extra browning, broil for an additional 1–2 minutes at the end of baking.
Cool and Slice:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2–3 minutes to set the toppings.
- Slice into wedges or squares and serve immediately.
