Tips

Tip 1

Pre-baking the dough for 3 minutes creates a crispier crust that won't get soggy under the toppings.

Tip 2

If bacon is still warm from cooking, wait to add it until after the pizza is done to prevent overcooking.

Tip 3

Add fresh toppings like lettuce and tomatoes only after baking to maintain their crisp texture.

Good to Know

Refrigerate leftover pizza for up to 3 days. Best reheated in oven at 350F for crispness.

Make Ahead

Pizza dough can be stretched and par-baked up to 1 day ahead. Ranch dressing keeps for 1 week refrigerated.

FAQ

Can I use store-bought ranch dressing?

Yes, you can substitute with about 1/3 cup store-bought ranch, but the homemade version tastes fresher and pairs better with the pizza.

What if I don't have a sheet pan?

You can use a pizza stone or large baking sheet. If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven first.

How long will leftover pizza keep?

Refrigerate for up to 3 days. The fresh toppings may wilt, so consider removing them before storing and adding fresh ones when reheating.
