📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the ranch dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, chives, dill, Worcestershire sauce, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and garlic. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
2
For the pizza: About ⏱️ 30 minutes before you're ready to bake, place a pizza stone, baking steel, or upside-down baking sheet on the upper third rack of the oven and preheat it to 500°F.
3
In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until brown and crispy, 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool; chop into small pieces.
4
Remove 2 tablespoons of the hot bacon drippings from the pan to a large bowl. Stir in the garlic powder. Add the chicken and 2 tablespoons of the grated parmesan cheese and toss until well coated.
5
Place a 14-inch piece of heavy-duty foil on top of an upside-down half-sheet pan. Lightly sprinkle the foil with flour.
6
On a lightly floured surface, cut the dough in half and shape it into tight balls. Place the balls about 3 inches apart on the surface, cover, and let rest until the dough has relaxed and springs back slowly when gently pressed with a finger, about ⏱️ 10 minutes.
7
Pull and stretch one of the dough balls into a 10-inch round and transfer it to the foil on the prepared baking sheet. (Keep the other dough ball covered.)
8
Sprinkle the surface of the pizza with 2 tablespoons of the parmesan. Spread ½ cup of the ranch dressing over the parmesan, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the mozzarella, ¼ cup of the cheddar, half the onion, half the chicken, and half the bacon. Top with another ¼ cup of the cheddar.
9
Using the upside-down baking sheet as a pizza peel, slide the pizza with the foil onto the preheated baking stone in the oven. Bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is bubbling, 12 to ⏱️ 16 minutes. Brush the crust with olive oil. Drizzle the pizza with more ranch (or serve it on the side for dipping) and sprinkle with some chives. Repeat with the remaining dough and ingredients.
