Description
A delightful combination of sweet caramelized pineapple, crispy bacon, prosciutto, and pickled jalapeños on a perfectly baked crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes
- 3 1/2-inch thick slices of fresh pineapple, cored and cut into half-moons
- 1/2 recipe artisan pizza dough (one 15 oz dough ball)
- 1/3 cup pizza sauce
- 4 oz shredded low-moisture mozzarella (whole milk, if possible)
- 2 oz prosciutto, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and stone: Place your pizza steel or stone in the center of your oven and preheat it to 500°F for 45 minutes.
- Cook the bacon: In a large cast-iron skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, flipping once until crispy, about 15 minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Caramelize the pineapple: Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease, add butter, honey, and chili flakes, stirring until melted.
- Add pineapple slices and cook until golden brown, about 9-10 minutes total, flipping once or twice.
- Shape the dough: Flatten pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle, leaving a thick lip around the edges.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread pizza sauce on the dough, sprinkle with mozzarella, and top with caramelized pineapple, bacon, and prosciutto.
- Slide the pizza onto the stone and bake for about 5 minutes, then broil for 2–4 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is charred.
- Top with pickled jalapeños, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Pat the pineapple dry before caramelizing for best results. Use whole-milk mozzarella for richer flavor.
