Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) if using a pizza stone; 450°F (230°C) for a standard baking sheet. Place your rack in the lower third of the oven.
Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-14 inch circle. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Spread the ranch dressing evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border around the edge for the crust.
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella over the ranch base.
Top with the cooked chicken and crumbled bacon, distributing evenly for full coverage.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top, making sure each bite will have plenty of gooey cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Drizzle with a little extra ranch, if desired, and scatter sliced scallions over the top.
Slice and serve while hot!
