Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Pizza Dough:

2️⃣ Spread the Cream Cheese:

3️⃣ Add the Cheese:

4️⃣ Layer the Pickles:
- Scatter the sliced pickles evenly across the pizza. You can use as many as you like for a stronger pickle flavor!
5️⃣ Bake the Pizza:
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden and crispy.
6️⃣ Finish and Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh dill and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
- Slice and serve warm, and enjoy the tangy, cheesy goodness!
