Ingredients

• 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 0.3333 cup Barbecue sauce
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Cooked ham, thinly sliced
• 0.3333 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
• 0.5 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Green onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (optional, for dusting)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If you'd like a crispier crust, sprinkle cornmeal on your pizza peel or baking sheet before placing the dough on it.

Step 3

Brush olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough to prevent sogginess.

Step 4

Spread the barbecue sauce across the base of the pizza, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce base.

Step 6

Distribute the ham slices, crumbled bacon, pineapple chunks, and red onion evenly across the pizza.

Step 7

Sprinkle salt lightly over the toppings for added seasoning.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped green onion and grated Parmesan cheese before slicing and serving.
