Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the instant yeast with warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add olive oil, salt, sugar, flour, and fresh dill. Mix until a soft dough forms, knead briefly for about 1-2 minutes until smooth. Cover and set aside to rise.
  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle in flour and whisk.
  5. Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking, cooking until thickened and bubbly (about 3-5 minutes). Stir in seasoning and Parmesan cheese, removing from heat.
  6. Flour your countertop, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle, and transfer it to a pizza pan. Spread the creamy white sauce evenly across the surface.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Pat the dill pickle slices dry and place them over the cheese.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly with a golden hue. Monitor closely for desired crispiness.
  10. Mix sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, dill pickle juice, and chopped dill in a bowl until creamy to prepare the sauce.
  11. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the baked pizza, sprinkle with crushed red pepper and extra dill, slice, serve, and enjoy!
