The Secret to a Perfect Crust

To achieve a crust that’s both crispy and golden, use a Baking Steel in your oven. This game-changing tool ensures a perfectly cooked base for your pizza. Fresh pizza dough is essential, so either make your own or pick up a batch from a local grocery store or pizzeria.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start, make sure you have the following ingredients:

• 1 ball of fresh pizza dough
• Flour for dusting
• 1/4 cup of tomato sauce
• 2 ounces of fresh mozzarella, torn
• 2 ounces of fontina, shredded
• 1/2 cup of cubed or diced pineapple
• 1 small jalapeño, thinly sliced
• 3 strips of uncooked bacon

Let’s Get Started!

Preheat your Baking Steel in the oven at 500°F for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, stretch your dough into a 12-inch circle, lightly flouring your pizza peel as you go. Place the dough on top of the peel and set the oven to broil.

Assemble Your Masterpiece

Evenly distribute the tomato sauce across the pizza, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella and fontina cheese over the sauce, followed by the pineapple, jalapeño, and raw bacon. Use a generously floured pizza peel to launch your pizza onto the Baking Steel and bake under the broiler for 2 minutes.

The Final Touches

After 2 minutes, open the oven and use your pizza peel to rotate the pizza 180 degrees. Turn off the broiler, set the oven to its highest temperature, and continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese reaches your desired level of brownness. Remove the pizza from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
