½cuppizza sauce,homemade or store-bought

1½cupsmozzarella cheese,shredded

½cupcooked ham,or canadian bacon, sliced or chopped

½cuppineapple chunks,canned or fresh

3bacon slices,cooked and crumbled

Preparation

Prepare pizza dough including preheating the oven to 475 degrees F (246 degrees C). Cover the shaped dough lightly with plastic wrap and allow it to rest as the oven preheats.

To prevent the pizza toppings from making your pizza crust soggy, brush the shaped dough lightly with olive oil. Using your fingers, push dents into the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling.

Top the dough evenly with pizza sauce, then add the cheese, ham, pineapple, and bacon.

Bake pizza for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with fresh basil, if desired. Slice hot pizza and serve immediately.

Cover leftover pizza tightly and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat as you prefer.
