FOR THE SAUCE:
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
FOR THE TOPPINGS:
4 to 6 slices of bacon, cooked and
chopped
4 slices Canadian bacon or similar-sized
ham, chopped
2 to 3 slices pineapple, chopped
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 green onion, chopped
Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and salt in a standing
mixer with a
dough hook, then slowly add the olive oil and water
as the machine
is running. Mix until the dough comes together
and all flour is
incorporated. Let it rest for 2 minutes, then run
the machine again
for 5-8 minutes, adding up to 1/4 cup of flour
until the dough forms
a smooth ball. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl,
cover the bowl with
plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until
doubled in size -
about one hour
Turn the dough out and shape into a rough rectangular
shape. Cover
with the plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30
minutes.
Turn on the oven to 400F and heat a baking stone.
Meanwhile, combine
the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heat
until simmering,
then turn the heat down and simmer until reduced
- about 15 minutes.
Stretch the dough out onto a piece of parchment
paper (approximately
9x13-inches) to form a rectangular shape. Spread
the pizza sauce over
the dough, then sprinkle the chopped ham, pineapple,
and red onions
over the sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella, then
sprinkle bacon on
top. Slide the parchment paper and pizza onto the
baking stone (using
another rimless baking sheet makes this easier).
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted
and starting to
brown and the edges of the dough are starting to
brown. Remove from
oven and sprinkle with green onions. Let the pizza
cool for a few
minutes to let the cheese set before slicing and
serving.
