• Add 1/2 cup crumbled feta and sliced black olives for a saltier, more complex flavor.
• Mix in sliced pickled jalapeños along with dill pickles for extra tang and heat.
• Fresh dill makes the best garnish, but dried dill can be used in a pinch.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes to help keep the crust crisp. Microwave reheating may make the crust soggy.

• 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated

To Serve:

• Fresh dill, chopped
• Red pepper flakes and/or hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

1. Make the Sauce: Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes to form a roux. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer while continuing to stir. Cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat. Roll out the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness on a floured surface. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
3. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the prepared garlic dill cream sauce evenly over the surface of the dough. Arrange a layer of thinly sliced dill pickles over the sauce. Sprinkle evenly with mozzarella cheese, followed by the Parmesan cheese. Add another layer of dill pickles on top of the cheese for extra tang and texture.
4. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden and crisp.
5. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped dill. For added heat, sprinkle red pepper flakes or drizzle hot sauce as desired. Slice and serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

• Use low moisture mozzarella for the best melt and texture on the pizza.
• Substitute fresh dill with dried dill if fresh is unavailable, but use less as dried herbs are stronger.
• For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the sauce and extra red pepper flakes before baking.
• Add crumbled feta cheese and black olives for a saltier, more Mediterranean twist.
• Include sliced pickled jalapeños for an extra pickle and heat boost.
