Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-14 inch circle.
Step 3
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.
Step 4
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
Step 5
Spread the marinara sauce evenly across the dough, leaving the edges untouched.
Step 6
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, covering the pizza evenly.
Step 7
Top the pizza with the diced ham and drained pineapple chunks, distributing them evenly across the surface.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the pizza (using the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Step 9
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top for an aromatic finish.
Step 11
Sprinkle the crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza, if desired, for a little heat.
Step 12
Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
