Spicy Garlic Cream

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, olive oil, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Spicy Garlic Cream Preparation

  1. 2

    Prepare the Spicy Garlic Cream

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir until cream cheese is melted. Gradually add heavy cream while stirring. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt to taste.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 3

    Assemble the Pizza

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the spicy garlic cream over the dough. Top with shredded chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, and pickled onions. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

  2. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove pizza from the oven and drizzle ranch dressing over the top. Let cool for a couple of minutes, slice, and serve warm.
