# What You'll Need:

→ Dough

01 - 1 ball (8.8 oz) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

→ Sauce

02 - 2/3 cup crème fraîche
03 - 1 clove garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped

09 - 1 tablespoon red onion, thinly sliced (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Set your oven to 480°F or its highest setting. Place a pizza stone in the oven while it preheats, if available.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.
03 - Combine crème fraîche, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl until smooth.
04 - Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge.
05 - Distribute shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce.
06 - Top the pizza with sliced dill pickles and red onion, if using.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
08 - Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh dill, slice, and serve immediately.
