Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups water
½ tablespoon white sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 ¾ cups bread flour
½ cup semolina flour
½ tablespoon salt
1 cooking spray (such as Crisco®)
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup cornmeal
2 ½ cups pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 cups pineapple chunks

Steps:

  • Combine water and sugar in a microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave for 50 seconds. Stir in yeast and allow to sit for at least 2 minutes.
  • Mix bread flour, semolina flour, and salt together in a bowl large enough for the dough to expand to the size of a head of lettuce. Grease hands with cooking spray. Pour water mixture into flour mixture and mix with a fork to combine. Transfer dough to a work surface and fold in half several times. Dough will be very sticky; reapply cooking spray as necessary.
  • Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl and spread it around the bottom. Add dough and turn it over so that it has a light oil coating to prevent sticking. Cover and set in a warm place for 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, pound chicken breasts out to a uniform thickness. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and sear chicken, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until chicken is browned and no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes, before cutting into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a 14x7-inch pan and sprinkle cornmeal evenly over the bottom.
  • Grease your hands again with cooking spray and remove dough. Spread dough in the prepared pan to an even thickness. Cover with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese. Add pineapple and chicken.
  • Bake on the middle or top rack of the preheated oven until cheese is melted and crust is golden, about 23 minutes.

PIZZA WITH PINEAPPLE AND HAM



Pizza with Pineapple and Ham image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
Two 8-ounce pieces of homemade or purchased Pizza Dough, recipe follows
3/4 cup homemade or purchased Marinara Sauce, recipe follows
1 1/3 cups grated pasteurized mozzarella
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
4 canned pineapple slices, coarsely chopped
4 thin slices cooked ham, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
2 teaspoons dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Two 32-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves

Steps:

  • Position 1 oven rack in the center and the second rack on the bottom of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Sprinkle the cornmeal over 2 rimless baking sheets. Roll out each piece of Pizza Dough into a 10- to 11-inch round. Transfer 1 dough to each prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon the Marinara Sauce over the dough, dividing equaling and leaving a 1-inch border around each pizza. Sprinkle the cheeses over the sauce. Arrange the pineapple pieces in a single layer over the cheeses. Sprinkle with the ham. Bake the pizzas until the crusts are crisp and brown on the bottom and the cheese is melted on top, about 12 minutes. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve immediately.
  • Mix the warm water and yeast in a small bowl to blend. Let stand until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes. Mix the flour and salt in a food processor to blend. Blend in the oil. With the machine running, add the yeast mixture and blend just until the dough forms. Turn the dough out onto lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer the dough to a large oiled bowl and turn the dough to coat with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free area until the dough doubles in volume, about 1 hour. Punch the down dough and divide into 2 equal balls.
  • In a large casserole pot, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and bay leaves, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens, about 1 hour. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper, to taste.

THE MAURO FAMILY BACON AND PINEAPPLE PAN PIZZA



The Mauro Family Bacon and Pineapple Pan Pizza image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup water at 105 to 110 degrees F
One 1/4-ounce package dry instant yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon sugar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons corn oil
8 slices bacon
1 1/2 cups pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 pound whole milk low-moisture mozzarella slices, from the deli (see Cook's Note)
1 cup pineapple, fresh or canned, 1/2-inch dice

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the water, yeast and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and let it bloom until bubbly, about 5 minutes. Add the flour, salt and 1 tablespoon corn oil and mix on medium-low for 5 minutes. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to a 12-inch cast-iron or heavy oven-safe skillet and paint it with a brush all over and up the sides. Place the dough in the center of the skillet and cover in plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled in size, for up to 2 hours.
  • For the pizza: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
  • Arrange the bacon slices on the lined sheet tray and bake until slightly crisp but still soft in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool, then cut into 1-inch strips. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Turn the oven up to 500 degrees F.
  • Press the dough down lightly in the skillet until it reaches the edge. (If the dough is being temperamental and not stretching, cover with plastic wrap and let it chill out for 10 minutes to let the dough relax, then press it to the edge.) Ladle a layer of sauce on the dough and evenly spread to the edge. Now it's cheese-shingling time! Start around the edge, letting the cheese go up the inside wall of the skillet and then covering the middle so there is one even layer of cheese on the pizza. Top with an even sprinkling of pineapple and bacon.
  • Bake the pizza until both the cheese crust around the edge is golden brown and the toppings are nicely charred and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes. I like using a fish spatula to gently and carefully lift a portion of the crust to peek underneath and see if it is getting super golden brown. You may need to move the skillet to the top rack or bottom rack depending on whether the top or bottom crust chars first. Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes. Slice and serve!

BBQ PINEAPPLE FLATBREAD PIZZAS



BBQ Pineapple Flatbread Pizzas image

Vegetarian spin on BBQ chicken pizza.

Provided by davekippen

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pizza Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 red onion, chopped, divided
⅓ cup red wine vinegar, or as needed
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 cup diced pineapple
1 green bell pepper, halved and seeded
2 (7 inch) flatbreads
¼ cup barbeque sauce
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
¼ cup shredded fresh mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place 1/4 of the chopped red onion in a small bowl and add vinegar to cover. Let soak to quick-pickled, about 1 hour.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Cover a baking sheet with foil.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in remaining onion. Cook and stir until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion is very tender and dark brown, about 40 minutes more. Add pineapple and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • While onion is cooking, place green pepper cut-sides down onto the prepared baking sheet. Broil until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn off the broiler, and preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
  • Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Replace the aluminum foil with a fresh sheet. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • Brush both sides of each flatbread with the remaining olive oil and place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with barbeque sauce and top with onion-pineapple mixture, roasted peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, mozzarella cheese, and cilantro.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is crispy and cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a ripe pineapple for the best flavor. A ripe pineapple will be golden yellow in color and have a sweet, fragrant smell.
  • Be sure to core and slice the pineapple thinly. This will help it cook evenly.
  • Use a pizza dough that is slightly crispy. This will help hold up the toppings.
  • Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough. This will help prevent the pineapple from making the pizza soggy.
  • Top the pizza with the pineapple slices and your favorite toppings. Common toppings include ham, bacon, and cheese.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Pineapple pizza is a delicious and unique dish that is sure to please everyone at your next party or gathering. With its sweet and tangy flavor, pineapple pizza is a great way to change up your regular pizza routine. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give pineapple pizza a try.
