Pizza Dough & Assembly
Preheat and prepare
Position an oven rack in the lower-middle position and preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven before preheating. Lightly dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal or flour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch the 1 lb pizza dough into a 12–13 inch round (or rectangle if using a sheet). Aim for a crust about 1/4–1/2 inch thick with a slightly thicker rim. Transfer the stretched dough to the prepared pizza peel or baking sheet. Brush the outer 1/2 inch of the dough lightly with 1 tbs olive oil to help crisp and brown the crust.
Sauce
In a small bowl, combine 3 oz tomato sauce with 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Stir until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Spread the sauce evenly over the stretched dough, leaving the oiled rim exposed (about 1/2 inch). Use about all the sauce specified to get a thin, even layer.
Toppings
Evenly sprinkle 2 cups shredded mozzarella over the sauced dough, leaving the rim clear. Follow with 1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar distributed evenly for extra cheesiness and nutty flavor.
Scatter 8 oz cooked ham pieces across the cheese in an even layer to ensure every slice has ham. Arrange 1 cup pineapple chunks evenly so they’re distributed across the pizza rather than clumped in one spot. If using 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, distribute it sparingly for a mild bite.
Optional: Sprinkle 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes across the top for a touch of heat.
Slide the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake at 475°F (245°C) for 10–14 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp, the cheese is melted and bubbling, and the underside of the crust has some browning. Rotate the pizza halfway through baking for even browning if your oven has hot spots.
Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest 2–3 minutes to allow the cheese to set slightly. Scatter 2 tbs chopped fresh basil or parsley over the top if using. Slice into 8 servings and serve immediately.
