Tomato, Cheese, Bacon, and Pineapple Pizza

Dough Preparation In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

2.Add the olive oil and warm water to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough comes together.

3.Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Tomato Sauce Preparation While the dough is rising, prepare the tomato sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Preheat Oven Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).

Shaping the Dough Punch down the dough to release the air. Transfer the dough to a greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Stretch and shape the dough to fit the pan.

Topping the Pizza Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Top with the crumbled bacon, shredded mozzarella cheese, and diced pineapple.

Baking the Pizza Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Garnish Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.

Serve Slice and serve the tomato, cheese, bacon, and pineapple pizza.
