Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush each cavity of the Wilton Pineapple Cake pan with vegetable oil, making sure you get into all the crevices.
- If using ready-to-bake pizza dough, unroll the dough from the cans. Cut each sheet of dough into 4 equal rectangles so you have 8 rectangles (you will only need 6 of these rectangles).
- If using homemade pizza dough, roll it out on a well-floured work surface until it's 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Trim to make it an 18 x 18-inch square then cut that square into six 9 x 6-inch rectangles.
- Place one rectangle of dough into a cavity of the pan and gently press down so it lines it. Add a layer of ricotta cheese, then pineapple chunks, cubed ham, mozzarella cheese and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning on top. The cavity should only be about 1/3 to 1/2 full - the fillings should not come to the top as you need to allow space for the dough to rise when baked. Fold the edges of the dough rectangle over the filling, letting them overlap - trim any dough off that seems excessive. Press firmly to seal.
- Repeat this to fill all of the cavities of the pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pizza dough is starting to brown on top.

PINEAPPLE BACON PIZZA

"One weekend, when I was home from college, I made this for my family and they absolutely loved it. It's equally good with chicken instead of bacon."

FRUIT PIZZA EVEN BETTER
Almond extract makes all the difference in this updated version of the traditional fruit pizza. Kiwi makes the topping completely fresh and adds beautiful color. Use low-fat cream cheese for a slightly lighter version. Any clear juice (apple, pear, peach, etc.) may be substituted for the pineapple.

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.

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. (The dough can be used immediately or stored airtight in the refrigerator for 1 day.)
- 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 sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm over medium heat before using.)
SHRIMP AND PINEAPPLE PARTY PIZZA
This flavor-packed appetizer is a sweet, smoky, savory sensation! If you are traveling with this pizza, parbake the crust and assemble the pizza at home, then finish the baking on-site. When that's not possible, it is still delicious at room temperature! If you're not a seafood fan, substitute chicken for the shrimp. -Jamie Miller, Maple Grove, Minnesota
