Make the Pizza Dough:

• In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
• In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, then stir until the dough comes together.
• Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Prepare the Pizza:

• Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
• Punch down the dough, then roll it out into a pizza shape (about 12 inches in diameter). Transfer it to a greased baking sheet or pizza stone.
• In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the ranch dressing until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly on the rolled-out pizza dough as the sauce base.
• Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.
• Add the chopped or sliced pickles on top of the cheese. You can use dill or bread-and-butter pickles, depending on your preference.
• Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, and dill (if using) over the pizza for extra flavor.

Bake the Pizza:

• Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza crust for a golden, crispy finish.
• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy the surprising and delicious flavor of pickle pie pizza!
