Heart Shaped Dill Pickle Pizza
Don’t like pickles? Dill with it.
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup bread flour
1 cup warm water
8 g active dry yeast
1 tsp. white sugar
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Toppings
1/2 cup pizza sauce
2 medium-sized garlic pickles, cut into thin slices
2 large garlic cloves, diced
2 tsp. dried dill
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shaved parmesan
Fresh ground pepper
Dip
4 tbsp. mayonaise
1 tbsp. dry dill
1 tsp. yellow mustard
1 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. sriracha
1-2 tbsp. water (add slowly and stop at your desired consistency)
Instructions
Pizza Dough
Makes one extra-large pizza or 2 small pizzas
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine your warm water, sugar and yeast. Stir together and let sit for 10-15 minutes
Once a foam has formed over the top of the water, add in both flours
Mix with your hands. Once a ball has formed, put some flour on your (clean) countertop and move the dough there
Add your olive oil 1 tbsp. at a time, kneading through your dough until it turns into a glossy, soft ball
Put back in bowl, cover with saran wrap, and put in fridge overnight
The next day, take the bowl out of the fridge and let sit in a warm area for 30 minutes, still covered
After 30 minutes, move your dough over to a sheet pan that has been generously sprayed with oil
If you’re making 2 small pizzas, cut the dough in half now
Put your dough on your pan and spread out with hands. If making a heart shape, you can easily mould the dough into your shape. I used a toothpick to get a more defined point at the top of the heart
Dip
Combine all dip ingredients in a small dish. Voila! Even if you don’t like dip, you you should still make this as it is added to the pizza sauce
Toppings
Once you’re happy with your dough shape, add your pizza sauce. Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch edges so that you will have a crust
Then, add 2 tbsp. of your dill sauce on top of your pizza sauce. Spread the dip across the pizza sauce, creating a rosé coloured base sauce
Next, evenly add your mozzarella cheese on top of your sauce
Now for the best part: pile on your pickles!
Add some parmesan on top of your pickles, followed by garlic, fresh ground pepper and dry dill
It’s time to put your pizza in the oven. In a preheated oven at 450 F, put in your pizza on the middle rack from 12-15 minutes (I took mine out at 14 minutes).
Let sit for 5 minutes, transfer to a cutting board, cut and serve!
Dip your pizza into the dip above for the ultimate dill pickle experience :P
