Equipment

  • 1 Pizza pan or cookie sheet (if cooking in regular oven)
  • 1 Outdoor pizza oven Optional
  • 1 Pizza Peel Optional
  • 1 Pizza Cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 12" Pizza Dough Store-bought,or try our recipe for Easy Peasy Dough
  • 1 Tbsp AP flour and/or cornmeal If using a pizza peel
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil If using a pizza pan/cookie sheet
  • .5 cups Pizza Sauce Store-bought or homemade
  • 4 ounces Mozzerella Cheese Equals about one cup
  • 6 ounces Canadian Bacon Cut into halves or thirds, if you prefer
  • 1.5 ounces Bacon Bits Optional
  • 8 ounces Pineapple Fresh or canned, drained and sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. If using an outdoor oven, preheat pizza oven to 800 degrees.
  • Prepare your pizza dough. While you can use most freshly made doughs about 10 minutes after making it, most store-bought pizza doughs must be out of the fridge for at least 30 minutes to warm up to room temperature. Check your specific instructions if you're using store-bought.
  • Some people roll out the dough with a rolling pin, and some like flattening it into a disc shape with their hands. I say you stick to what method you are most comfortable with. Use some flour to keep it from sticking to your hands, the counter, or your rolling pin.

  • If you use a pizza pan/cookie sheet in the oven, most are non-stick, but adding a thin coat of olive oil which helps prevent any sticking and promotes even browning on the bottom of your pizza.
  • Place the dough on the pizza pan/cookie sheet or spread an even layer of flour and/or cornmeal on your pizza peel if using one. Then place the flattened-out dough on the peel.
  • Take a spoon and apply the sauce one spoonful at a time.
  • Take the back of the spoon and spread it out over the dough, leaving about 1" of crust without sauce around the edge. Many people like using a "bullseye" pattern, swirling the sauce from the center out. Start with less sauce and add more as needed. It is easier to add more than take it away.
    Apply sauce to the dough.
  • Once you're happy with your sauce distribution, evenly spread your cheese on top. Next, place the Canadian Bacon, bacon bits, and
    Distribute the cheese then put on the ham.
  • Finally place pineapple over the pizza.
  • Place the pizza in the oven, or using a peel, launch the pizza into your pizza oven.
  • In the inside oven, cook for 20-22 minutes, rotating the pizza halfway through cooking.
  • In the pizza oven, turn a quarter turn every 1-2 minutes until cooked (about 4-8 minutes total).
  • Check the bottom of the crust before pulling the pizza out of the oven.
  • Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing and then serve immediately.

Notes

After you dice the drained pineapple, place it on some paper towels until you are ready to top your pizza. That will help remove some of the excess moisture.
