Description
A delicious combination of sweet pineapple, savory bacon, and rich mozzarella cheese, bringing the taste of the tropics to your dinner table.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp chile flakes
- 3 1/2-inch thick slices fresh pineapple, cored and cut into half-moons
- 1/2 recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 4 oz shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 500°F, placing pizza steel or stone in the middle and heating for 45 minutes.
- In a large cast iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crispy and browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease, then add butter, honey, and chile flakes, stirring until melted.
- Add pineapple slices to the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes, flipping to cook another 5 minutes until tender.
- Chop the pineapple and bacon, and set aside.
- Flatten the dough ball into a large disk, leaving a thick border, then transfer to a floured pizza peel.
- Spread pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border, sprinkle with mozzarella, then scatter with pineapple, bacon, and prosciutto.
- Slide the pizza onto the steel and bake for 5 minutes. Broil for an additional 2-4 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is charred.
- Let cool slightly, top with pickled jalapeños, slice, and serve.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients. Don’t skip the broiling step for a golden crust. Customize toppings to your preference.
