Method
Making the Dough
- 1
Activate the Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Mix the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
- 3
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assembling the Pizza

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizza.

Roll Out the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Add Sauce and Cheese
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly on the surface, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Add Toppings
Evenly distribute the crumbled bacon, diced ham, pineapple chunks, and sliced hot pepperoncini on top of the cheese.

Brush the Crust
Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil and sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
