Dough

3 cups 00 bread flour

1 tsp instant dry yeast

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp sugar

1 cups warm water

2 tbs olive oil

Sauce

1 cups tomato sauce (canned or passata)

2 tbs tomato paste

1 tsp Dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1 tsp Garlic (minced)

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp black pepper

1 tsp olive oil

Toppings

2 cups mozzarella cheese (shredded)

8 oz ham (cooked, sliced or diced)

1 cups pineapple (canned chunks, drained or fresh diced)

1/4 cups red onion (thinly sliced, optional)

2 tbs fresh cilantro or parsley (optional, for garnish)

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Finishing

1 tbs olive oil (for brushing)

1 tbs cornmeal or flour (for dusting)

Method

Dough

Activate yeast and mix

In a small bowl, combine warm water (about 105–115°F / 40–46°C), sugar, and instant dry yeast. Stir and let sit 5 minutes until foamy. In a large bowl, whisk flour and salt; make a well and add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons olive oil.

Knead

Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic. If dough is sticky, add up to 2 more tablespoons flour; if too dry, wet hands briefly.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise in a warm draft-free spot until doubled, about 60–90 minutes.

Punch down the dough, transfer to a lightly floured surface, and shape into a ball. Let rest 10 minutes before rolling or stretching to allow gluten to relax.

Sauce

Combine sauce ingredients

While dough rises, mix tomato sauce, tomato paste, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a bowl. Taste and adjust seasoning. The sauce should be thick but spreadable; thin with 1–2 tablespoons water if needed.

Toppings

Prepare toppings

Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the middle rack for at least 30 minutes. Drain canned pineapple well; pat dry. Slice or dice ham to bite-sized pieces. Shred cheese and slice red onion thinly if using.

Lightly dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal or flour. Stretch or roll the dough to a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about 1/4-inch thick at the center and slightly thinner at the edges to form a rim. Transfer dough to the prepared peel or sheet.

Brush the crust edge lightly with 1 tablespoon olive oil to promote browning.

Spread about 3/4 cup (adjust to taste) of the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch rim uncovered.

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce, then distribute ham pieces and pineapple chunks in an even layer. Scatter remaining mozzarella on top so cheese covers toppings and helps them bind.

If using red onion, scatter thin slices evenly. Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Bake & Finish

Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake at 500°F (260°C) for 8–12 minutes, rotating once halfway, until crust is golden and blistered and cheese is melted and bubbling.

Remove pizza from oven and let rest 2–3 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired. Slice and serve hot.
