Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pound (550g) homemade pizza dough (or store bought)

Toppings

  • ⅔ cup (155ml) ranch dressing
  • 3 cups (340g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1½ cups (200g) chopped cooked chicken
  • 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your pizza evenly and achieving a golden crust.
  2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 13 to 15-inch circle. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet, shaping the edges if you prefer a raised crust.
  3. Add Ranch Dressing: Spread ⅔ cup of ranch dressing evenly over the surface of the dough, covering it completely but leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
  4. Layer Cheese: Sprinkle 3 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the ranch dressing, ensuring good coverage for a gooey and cheesy base.
  5. Add Chicken and Bacon: Top the cheese with 1½ cups of chopped cooked chicken and 4 strips of cooked, crumbled bacon, distributing them evenly to get delicious bites of both in every slice.
  6. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbling.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps the toppings set slightly and makes slicing easier.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought cooked chicken or leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience.
  • Adjust the amount of ranch dressing according to your taste preference.
  • For extra crispiness, bake the bacon separately until fully crisp before crumbling.
  • Feel free to add additional toppings such as sliced green onions or diced tomatoes.
  • If using frozen pizza dough, thaw it fully before rolling out.
