Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a wood-fired oven or conventional oven to 500°F with a pizza stone inside for 45 minutes to get it piping hot.
Step 2: On a floured surface, roll out 14 oz pizza dough to a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a pizza peel or parchment paper.
Step 3: Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil mixed with 2 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp salt evenly, spreading gently to the edges.
Step 4: Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, then scatter 6 oz shredded cooked chicken breast and 4 chopped cooked bacon strips on top.
Step 5: Slide the pizza onto the hot stone and bake for 8-10 minutes until the crust is blistered and cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 6: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle 1/4 cup ranch dressing over the top, then garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 tsp black pepper before slicing.
