As a fellow pizza junkie, I absolutely love your site! I always prebake my crust on a traditional pizza pan for about 7 minutes at 425…. this keeps the pizza from getting soggy. Remove from oven, add your toppings and continue to bake for another 10-15 minutes (until cheese is bubbly). For ranch pizza, I used a light olive oil, dry ranch dressing, scant coating of parmesean cheese for the “sauce”. Add the toppings in the order you prefer.

Try cooking the dough for 5-10 minutes, then put on ranch dressing (I use Hidden Valley Ranch), mozzarella/cheddar blend (2/3 mozzarella, 1/3 cheddar), bite size grilled chicken pieces & crumpled bacon pieces (I have used both regular bacon and turkey bacon). Cook and additional 10-15 minutes, until crust is golden. Enjoy!

I have been looking for a CBR pizza recipe……..There is a pizza parlor in Macon, Il that has one. It is to die for. It is a ranch sauce, perfection. think they marinate their chicken in something. Anyway it is good. I am going to try to make one.

Your family is so, so lucky to have you. If I got to taste all the pizzas in the pictures, I’d love you, too (if not more so). OH, that pepperoni pizza looks too good to be true, Bill!

Bill the best is to make your own ranch using the Hidden Valley Ranch packages. They yield about 2 cups and I add 1 generous tablespoon of chopped garlic in water.

The crust gets those tiny blisters when the mix is just right and the oven temp is nice and hot. As for hand mixing, I’ve done it a few times without changing the recipe – it’s just more hard work!

I own a pizza shop and we have tried using ranch for the base. However, we have found that it is more popular to simply make a cheese pizza, then add chicken, bacon, and top it with ranch dressing and then bake. The flavors all meld together and it truly is a treat.

wow your crust on the pizza to the left is so beautiful! How did you get that great color and texture? Also, do you have directions for your traditional crust using your hands? I dont have one of those nice mixers:(
thanks!
