Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Mixing Bowl large

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Creamy Ranch Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp buttermilk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives

Toppings

  • 1 cup cooked chicken shredded
  • 2 jalapeños sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, mix yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead until a dough forms. Cover and let rise for 60 minutes.
  • Combine sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, parsley, and chives in a bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate until ready to use.

Serving

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out dough on a floured surface. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spread ranch sauce over dough, then add chicken, jalapeños, and mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.

Storage

  • Allow leftover pizza to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warm.

Notes

Pro Tips: Use fresh jalapeños for the best flavor. Preheat your oven for even cooking. A pizza stone helps achieve a crispy crust.
Ingredient Substitutions: Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a lighter sauce.
How to Serve: Pair with a light salad or garlic bread. Serve with a crisp white wine or light beer.
Storage & Freshness: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead Tips: Prepare the ranch sauce and dough ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to use.
