Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ball pizza dough (about 12 oz)
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 1/4 cup black olives, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it inside while the oven preheats.
- In a bowl, mix crushed tomatoes with oregano, salt, and pepper to create the sauce.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface and place it on a baking sheet or pizza peel. Brush the edges with olive oil and sprinkle garlic powder around the crust.
- Spread the sauce evenly over the dough. Top with shredded mozzarella, pineapple, red onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and olives.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
- Let cool slightly before slicing. Sprinkle extra oregano or red pepper flakes if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Pat the pineapple dry before adding to avoid a soggy crust.
- Sauté mushrooms and peppers beforehand to enhance flavor.
- Use a pizza stone or steel for a crisper bottom.
- Try brushing the crust with garlic-infused olive oil for an extra flavor boost.
