ingredients
Steps
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy. Add flour, salt, and 1 tbsp olive oil, then knead into a smooth, elastic dough (about 5-7 minutes). Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, until doubled in size.
Sauce and Preheat
Meanwhile, prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, mix crushed tomatoes with minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Assemble the Pizza
On a floured surface, roll out the risen dough into a circle about 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread with tomato sauce, sprinkle half of the mozzarella, then distribute the diced ham and pineapple chunks. Finally, sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Remove from the oven, let it rest for 2-3 minutes, then slice and serve.
Extra Tips
► For an even crispier crust, place the pizza on a preheated pizza stone or baking steel before baking.
► Don't overload the pizza with toppings, as it can make it difficult to cook through and result in a soggy crust.
► Experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or provolone for an even richer flavor!
