The juicy sweetness from pineapple perfectly balances coppa and the creamy richness of mozzarella. Red onions add bite; red pepper flakes give a little heat. Fresh basil leaves to finish, tone down the fruity pineapple sweetness with its own herbal sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough
  • 1/2 16-oz. Package of Sliced Fresh Mozzarella, torn into pieces
  • 1 3-oz. Package of Italian Coppa
  • 1/2 20-oz. Can of Pineapple Chunks, each chunk halved lengthwise to make a flatter chunk of pineapple
  • 1/4 Medium Red Onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2-1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes
  • Fresh Basil Leaves to Finish

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2

On a floured pizza peel, dust the dough with flour and create a crust around the perimeter of the dough and flatten down the center.

3

Stretch it out on the backs of your hands, left hand over right hand, until the dough is roughly 12-inches around.

4

Add more flour evenly on the peel and lay the dough on the peel.

5

First add cheese, then coppa. Then pineapple, followed by onions. Then a little more cheese and top with the red pepper flakes. Remember to distribute the toppings evenly over the surface of the dough.

6

Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden.

7

Mop the wet areas with a paper towel and sprinkle on the fresh basil leaves.
