Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza


This has become one of our favorite pizzas.  My kiddos love it so much that I made it twice last week alone!  Its a nice change from pizza with red sauce, and since ranch dressing is practically a food group among kids I knew they'd love it.  I thought about adding some chopped fresh spinach too, but I wasn't sure how my kiddos would react.  I think next time I make this, since I have to make 2 pizzas anyway, I'll make a grown up one with spinach for me and the hubby.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza
Serves 8-10

Pizza Dough:

3 cups flour, more or less
1 tablespoon honey, heaping
1 tablespoon oil, heaping
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Toppings:

Prepared ranch salad dressing
Cooked chicken (I cook mine in the crock pot with some salt and pepper and chicken broth on low for about 4 hours.)
6 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
2 sliced green onions (I forgot to put these on)
2 cups Shredded mozzarella
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 475°.   Mix all pizza dough ingredients together, except the flour. Add flour and knead for a bit then put into a greased 10 x 15 sheet pan.   Spread the dough with ranch dressing, then sprinkle on the chicken.  Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and then the remaining toppings, finishing with the Parmesan cheese.  Bake for about 12 minutes (checking often) until crust is browned and cheese is golden and bubbly. Makes 1 large pizza.
