How To Make Pickle Pizza

1. Prep work: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pizza dough into a baking pan lined with parchment paper.

2. Add the garlic sauce: Spread the garlic sauce in an even layer on top of the pizza dough using the back of a spoon.

3. Add the pizza toppings: Tear the fresh mozzarella cheese into smaller pieces and evenly distribute it on top of the sauce. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of that. Then, top the pizza with the thinly sliced dill pickles and oregano.

4. Bake and serve: Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it sit for a few minutes, then cut and serve. Enjoy!
