Homemade Pizza Recipe

Ingredients: 
(1) 13.8 oz Pillsbury Refrigerated Pizza Dough Crust
3 oz of light cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup of your favorite bottled ranch dressing (or use the recipe below like we did)
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
2 chicken breasts, cooked (shredded or cube them)
butter, melted
garlic salt
mozzarella cheese, shredded about 1 cup
green onions, chopped
 bacon, cooked & chopped

 

Yummy Ranch Dressing: 
1 packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix
1 cup of plain greek yogurt
1 cup of milk
(Mix everything together and put in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow it to thicken)
 
Directions: 
  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F
  2. Spray a 9×13 baking sheet with cooking spray and lightly dust with garlic salt
  3. Evenly spread out your pizza dough and put in the oven and pre-cook for 8 minutes
  4. While your dough is pre-cooking, mix your softened cream cheese, tomato paste & ranch dressing in a medium bowl
  5. Remove the pizza crust from the oven and use a baking brush (or spread with a spoon) and go around the edges of the pizza with butter.  Lightly sprinkle with garlic salt
  6. Add your sauce to the middle of the pizza and out to the buttered edges, leaving about inch around of exposed buttered crust
  7. Add your mozzarella cheese, chicken, and green onions and put back in the oven for 5-7 minutes
  8. Remove from the oven and add the cooked bacon pieces
  9. Cook for an additional 2-4 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are lightly browned
  10. You may want to “broil” it for the last 2 minutes to get the cheese really bubbly!
