1
Make the White Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk to form a roux. Gradually add 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
2
Prepare Ranch Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared white sauce with 1 cup of ranch dressing. Stir until well blended and set aside.

3
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
4
Roll Out the Dough
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, about 12-14 inches in diameter.
5
Spread the Sauce
Spread the ranch cream sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
6
Add Toppings
Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, and shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Top with arugula.
7
Bake the Pizza
Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

8
Slice and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and serve hot.
