Ingredients
Measurements:
For the pizza dough
¾ cup plus 2 tbsp (7 fl oz) warm water
½ tsp instant dried yeast
1 tsp kosher salt
2 cups (11 oz) bread flour
For the pizza
3 tbsp olive oil
divided
⅔ cup (5½ oz) marinara sauce
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp cornmeal
divided
1 tbsp bread flour
1 cup (3½ oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
3½ oz smoked ham
cut into ½-inch pieces
3½ oz drained canned pineapple pieces
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
1Combine the water, yeast and salt in a measuring cup and whisk to combine. Place the flour in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the dough hook attachment, begin mixing on low speed. Pour the yeast mixture into the bowl in a steady stream. Continue mixing on low speed for 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. This helps develop the gluten in the flour for a better rise.
2Place 1 teaspoon of the oil in a heatproof bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, turn to coat and cover with plastic wrap. Insert the wire rack into postion 8. Place the dough in the oven. Set the oven to Proof, Convection, 100°F, for 1 hour and press Start. Meanwhile, make the pizza sauce.
3To make the pizza sauce, combine the marinara sauce, salt and oregano in a medium bowl. Set aside.
4The dough should be doubled in size. If not, proof it longer.
5Adjust the oven to Pizza, Super Convection, 400°F, for 20 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, grease the pizza pan with 2 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon cornmeal and set aside.
6In a small bowl, combine the flour and remaining 1 tablespoon cornmeal. Dust the countertop with half the flour mixture. Turn out the dough and dust the top with more flour mixture. Stretch the dough until large enough to cover the pan. Place onto the pan and stretch to the edge.
Tip: If the dough shrinks back, allow it to rest for 5 minutes and continue stretching.
7Spread the sauce over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border. Top with half the mozzarella, then the ham, pineapple, parmesan and remaining mozzarella. Brush the edge of the dough with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil.
8Once preheated, move the wire rack to postion 7. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
9The cheese should be melted and the dough lightly browned. If not, cook it a little longer.
10Slice it up and let the sweet-salty party begin! Serve your hand-tossed Hawaiian pizza hot from the oven, with gooey cheese stretching and pineapple popping with juicy flavor.
