Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Base
  • 1 batch Pizza Dough A high-hydration dough preferred; can use pre-purchased.
For the Sauce
  • 1 cup Homemade Pizza Sauce Store-bought acceptable but homemade preferred.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Fresh Pineapple Provides sweetness; caramelizing enhances flavor.
  • 4 ounces Prosciutto Substitute with thinly sliced ham if necessary.
  • 4 slices Bacon Provides a smoky crunch.
  • 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese Use low-moisture mozzarella for best results.
  • 1/4 cup Pickled Jalapeños For a spicy kick; fresh can be used for milder flavor.

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • pizza stone
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the pizza dough by combining flour, water, yeast, and salt. Let it rise for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
  2. Caramelize the pineapple in a skillet with honey and butter for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, then place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. Spread the homemade pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  5. Layer the low-moisture mozzarella cheese, then add caramelized pineapple, prosciutto, bacon, and jalapeños.
  6. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F for about 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
  7. Cool for a few minutes, then slice the pizza into wedges and serve.
