Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup warm water
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup thinly sliced ham
1 cup pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
Instructions
Prepare the dough by combining flour, yeast, salt, and warm water. Knead until smooth and let rise for one hour.
While the dough rises, make the tomato sauce by simmering crushed tomatoes with oregano and basil for 15-20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface to desired thickness.
Spread the sauce over the rolled-out dough, then layer with mozzarella cheese, ham, and pineapple.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
Notes
For extra flavor, use fresh herbs like basil or experiment with barbecue sauce instead of tomato.
Try adding bell peppers or jalapeños for an exciting twist.
