Description

Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
•
2 slices applewood-smoked bacon
•
4 canned pineapple rings
•
1 pound fresh pizza dough, at room temperature
•
1/2 cup pizza sauce (from 1 [14-oz.] jar)
•
2 cups (8 oz.) pre-shredded whole-milk mozzarella cheese
•
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
•
3 ounces Canadian bacon (about 4 slices), cut into 1-in. triangles
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) with a rack in the lower position. Oil a large rimmed baking sheet with olive oil.
2
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook, flipping occasionally, until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
3
Pour out pan drippings without wiping pan clean, and return skillet to heat. Add pineapple, cook until lightly browned and caramelized, 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan. Chop bacon and cut pineapple rings into 3/4-inch pieces.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 12-inch circle and place on the oiled baking sheet. Prick dough with a fork several times to reduce air bubbles. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around edges. Sprinkle with cheese, red onion, Canadian bacon, chopped pineapple, and chopped bacon.
5
Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and bubbly, toppings are lightly charred, and crust is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Recipe developed by Amanda Holstein
