Ingredients

Homemade Pizza Crust

1 cup Water warm (95-110 degrees F)
1 Tablespoon Sugar
2 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
1 teaspoon Salt
2 ½ cups All-Purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

⅔ cup Marinara Sauce

½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
½ teaspoon Sea Salt

Instructions

How to Make Pizza Dough

In a medium-sized mixing bowl or stand mixer, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast and mix well. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbly.
Once your yeast has “proofed,” add the olive oil, salt and about 1 ½ cups of flour. Using a paddle or dough hook, mix until all the ingredients are completely combined.
Add in the rest of the flour, about a ¼ cup at a time until the dough pulls away from the edges of the bowl.
Mix on low speed for another 1-2 minutes until the dough is nice and smooth, then transfer to a lightly floured surface and shape the dough into a ball.
If you are making the dough ahead, wrap it tightly and store in the fridge overnight. Otherwise, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

How To Assemble and Bake Your Hawaiian Pizza

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
With lightly floured hands, stretch and shape your dough into desired pizza pan. If it begins to resist, let the dough relax for a couple of minutes and then continue.
Add the marinara sauce and spread evenly onto the pizza crust with the back of a spoon. Top with the shredded cheese, Canadian bacon and pineapple chunks then sprinkle with dried oregano and sea salt.
Bake in a preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the bottom of the pizza is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For a pizza with a thicker crust, reduce the oven temp to 400 degrees so that the dough has a chance to bake all the way through before the outside gets too dark.
