Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Barbecue sauce
• 2 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup (diced) Cooked ham
• 0.5 cup (crumbled) Cooked bacon
• 1 cup (drained if canned) Pineapple chunks
• 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional) Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Sprinkle a clean work surface with a little flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

Lightly dust the parchment paper with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Brush the edges of the pizza dough with olive oil for a golden crust.

Step 4

Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edge.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the barbecue sauce base.

Step 6

Top the pizza with diced ham, crumbled bacon, pineapple chunks, and thinly sliced red onion, distributing evenly across the surface.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

Step 9

Once the pizza is out of the oven, sprinkle fresh chopped cilantro on top if desired for extra flavor.

Step 10

Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy your tropical Luau Pizza!
