Pizza Toppings:
- ½ cup pizza sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup cooked ham, chopped
- ½ cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing crust)
- Chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a pizza pan or preheated stone.
- Add Toppings: Brush the dough edge with olive oil. Spread pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, ham, pineapple chunks, and red pepper flakes over the dough.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, par-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Canadian bacon or prosciutto can be substituted for ham.
- Fresh pineapple offers a less sweet flavor than canned.
