Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 slices Canadian bacon (about 1 1/2 oz.)
  • 2 ounces fresh pineapple, sliced 1/4-inch thick, cut into bite-size pieces
  • Cornmeal, for dusting
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 small scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)

Method

  • Place oven rack on lowest shelf. If you have a stone, place it on rack. Preheat oven to 550°F, or your oven's highest temperature, for 45 minutes.
  • Warm a grill pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle 1 tsp. oil into pan. Add Canadian bacon and pineapple. Grill until meat and fruit are lightly marked on one side, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut meat into bite-size pieces.
  • Dust a 14-inch-wide peel with cornmeal, then flatten dough on top. Using lightly floured fingers or a floured rolling pin, stretch dough into a 13- to 14-inch round. (Sprinkle peel with more cornmeal if necessary to make sure crust slides around easily on peel.) Brush remaining 2 tsp. oil over crust.
  • Sprinkle half of cheese over crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange Canadian bacon, pineapple, remaining cheese and half of scallions on top.
  • Carefully slide pizza onto stone. Bake until crust is slightly charred on top and golden on bottom (lift an edge to check) and cheese has melted, about 8 minutes. Using peel, transfer pizza to a cutting board. Sprinkle remaining scallions over pizza. Let rest for a minute or 2, then slice and serve.
