Instructions:
-
Prepare the Crust:
- Begin by dissolving the yeast in warm water. 🌊
- Add flour, salt, sugar, and butter to the yeast mixture.
- Stir everything together until a dough forms. 🍞
- You can use a dough hook or a bread machine for this step.
- Let the dough rest for about 20 minutes to rise.
-
Shape the Pizzas:
- Divide the dough in half.
- Press each half into a 12-inch pizza pan, shaping it evenly.
- Use a fork to prick the dough all over. This prevents air bubbles while baking. 🔪
-
Pre-bake the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place the pizza crusts in the oven and bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove the partially baked crusts from the oven.
-
Add the Toppings:
- Brush the crusts with melted butter for extra flavor. 🧈
- Spread a generous layer of ranch dressing over the buttered crusts.
- Sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the ranch dressing. 🧄
- Next, add the shredded cooked chicken on top.
- Sprinkle a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheese over the chicken. 🧀
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the pizzas back in the oven.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
- Keep an eye on it to achieve your desired level of crispness and cheesiness! 🎉
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once out of the oven, slice the Garlicky Chicken Ranch Pizzas into wedges.
- Serve hot and savor every garlicky, cheesy, ranch-infused bite. 🤤
