Preparation
Step 1
How to make pineapple pizza? Prepare the ingredients for the dough. You may need a little more flour - this depends on flour quality, humidity, and other conditions. Use filtered or bottled water; even though it goes into the dough, the quality should be good.
Step 2
Take a large bowl. Sift in 150 g flour (about 1 1/4 cups). Sifting makes the dough softer because the flour is aerated.
Step 3
Add the dry ingredients - sugar, salt, and instant dry yeast. Mix well with a fork.
Step 4
Warm the water until pleasantly warm, not hot - about 38°C (100°F). Pour the water into the flour, mixing with a fork. Add vegetable oil. Mix. The dough will be very wet and sticky at this point.
Step 5
Start adding the remaining flour little by little, mixing first with a fork and then with your hand. Don’t overdo it - too much flour makes the dough tough.
Step 6
Finish kneading on a floured board. The dough should become smooth but stay soft. I used a bit more than 200 g flour (about 1 2/3 cups) total. Shape into a ball, place in a bowl, cover with a towel or plastic wrap, and leave in a warm, draft-free place for 1-1.5 hours to rise. I usually put the dough in a cold (turned-off) oven.
Step 7
While the dough rises, prepare the toppings. Pineapple can be rings or chunks - it doesn’t matter since you’ll cut it anyway. Boil the chicken fillet in advance in any way you like. Any tomato sauce works; I used a simple mild red sauce. Choose a cheese that melts well.
Step 8
Cut the pineapple into small pieces.
Step 9
Finely grate the cheese - this helps it melt faster and more evenly than coarsely grated cheese.
Step 10
By now, the dough should have doubled in volume.
Step 11
Place the dough on a floured surface. Roll it into a thin sheet of any shape (I made a circle). The thickness should not exceed 4 mm (about 1/6 in). My pizza base was about 28 cm (11 in) in diameter.
Step 12
Transfer the dough base to a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Spread tomato sauce over the dough.
Step 13
Tear the cooked chicken fillet into small pieces and distribute evenly over the pizza. Add the pineapple.
Step 14
Sprinkle the grated cheese on top.
Step 15
Bake in an oven preheated to 200°C (392°F) for about 20 minutes. Adjust to your oven. The cheese should melt and turn golden. Remove the pizza, slice, and serve immediately.
