Crispy dough, tangy pickles, creamy sauce, bubbling mozzarella, and fresh dill offer a unique pizza flavor.
# Components:
→ Dough
01 - 1 ball (9 oz) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
→ Sauce
02 - 2/3 cup crème fraîche
03 - 1 clove garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
05 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
06 - Salt and black pepper, to taste
→ Toppings
07 - 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
08 - 1/2 cup sliced dill pickles
09 - 1 tablespoon red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, for garnish
# Method:
01 - Set oven to 480°F (250°C) or the highest temperature possible. Position the pizza stone inside while preheating if using.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Place the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.
03 - Combine crème fraîche, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Mix until smooth and well integrated.
04 - Spread the prepared crème fraîche mixture over the pizza base, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
05 - Evenly scatter shredded mozzarella over the sauce. Layer the sliced dill pickles and red onion, if using, on top of the cheese.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
07 - Remove from oven, garnish with fresh dill, cut into slices, and serve promptly.
