½-1cupfresh pineapple chunksdried as much as possible on paper towels
Instructions
For this recipe, you will need a pizza dough crust spread out over a floured pizza cooking tray. I recommend my Perfect Pizza Dough recipe, which makes 2 pizzas worth of dough.
To Assemble:
Once the pizza dough is spread out over the floured pizza tray, add the oil and brush around the entire pizza. Then, sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning lightly all over the pizza as well.If you'd rather have pizza sauce, you can use it instead of the oil and seasonings, but my family enjoys the simple oil base with this pizza.
Next, top the pizza with as much mozzarella cheese as your heart desires.
Then, spread out the salami and pineapple all over the top of the cheese.
To Cook:
Option 1: My personal favorite. Prep/Turn on a smoker to 450° and smoke the pizza for 10-15 minutes until the cheese melts and starts browning, and the crust is crisp and golden.
Option 2: Bake in a preheated oven at 450° for 10-15 minutes until cooked to the specifications in option 1 above. (12 minutes seems to be my oven's special number)
Notes
Cooking pizza in a smoker definitely adds an extra depth of flavor that the oven just can't replicate. This is the smoker we use.
