What you need to make Dill Pickle Pizza:

1 pre-made pizza crust (or your favorite homemade recipe)

1 cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup thinly sliced dill pickles

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Optional toppings: crumbled bacon, feta cheese, or jalapeños

How to make it:

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pizza crust package.

Prepare the crust: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust.

Add toppings: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with the thinly sliced dill pickles and red onion.

Bake: Bake the pizza according to the package instructions, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh dill before serving.

Optional: For extra flavor, consider adding crumbled bacon, feta cheese, or jalapeños to your pizza.

Tips:

Pickle Prep: For the best flavor and texture, pat your pickles dry before adding them to the pizza. This helps prevent the pizza from becoming soggy.

Onion Sweetness: To balance the tangy flavors, briefly sauté the red onion before adding it to the pizza. This caramelizes the onion, adding a touch of sweetness.

Dill Dilemma: Fresh dill is best, but if you don’t have any on hand, dried dill can be used as a substitute. However, use it sparingly, as the flavor is more concentrated.
