Crust:

1. Stir water, sugar, and yeast together until yeast is dissolved and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Pour into a large mixing bowl and whisk in salt and oil until combined. Add the all purpose flour a little at a time and mix until dough comes together. Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, adding a bit more flour as needed until the dough pulls away from the surface. It should be smooth and resilient. Place in oiled bowl and cover, then place in warm place to rise for about 2 hours until nearly doubled in size. (If you have the time to let it rise longer it gives it better flavor.)

Ranch:

1. Combine all the ingredients for the ranch in a blender or food processor and pulse until creamy smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Alternatively, if you do not have a blender, you can chop the garlic and onion by hand until minced and mix everything in a bowl.)

Pizza:

1. When the dough is done rising, preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232C) and place a pizza stone or a thick pizza pan in the oven to heat. On a clean work surface dusted with flour or cornmeal, roll the pizza dough out into a circle that’s roughly 14 inches in diameter. Place the crust on large piece of parchment paper on a completely flat pan or tray so that you can slide it easily onto the pizza stone later. Pour the ranch sauce out onto crust and spread evenly. Top that with the white cheddar then crumble the bacon over the top and sprinkle on the green onion evenly.
2. When the oven is hot, carefully slide your pizza onto the pizza stone or pan and bake pizza for 12 – 15 minutes until edges are golden and cheese is well melted and browning on top. Remove from oven and cool for about 5 minutes so the cheese doesn’t ooze off when cutting, then slice and serve hot!
