Pineapple-Bacon Pizza
The sweetness of pineapple and bacon when mix together has a taste of Hawaiian pizza. Ready made pizza dough can be purchased at leading supermarkets.
Ingredients:
1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated classic pizza crust or make your own dough
1 package (6 oz) sliced provolone cheese
1 package (5 to 6 oz) sliced Canadian bacon
1 can (8 oz) pineapple chunks in unsweetened juice, well drained on paper towels
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
Procedures:
1) If using classic crust: Heat oven to 425°F. Spray or grease 12-inch pizza pan or 13x9-inch pan. Unroll dough in pan. Starting at center, press dough to edge of pan. If using thin crust: Heat oven to 400°F.
2) Spray or grease 15x10-inch or larger dark or nonstick cookie sheet. Unroll dough on cookie sheet; starting at center, press out dough into 15x10-inch rectangle.
3) Top dough with provolone cheese, cutting to fit. Arrange Canadian bacon, pineapple, onion and bell pepper over provolone cheese to within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese.
4) Bake classic crust 16 to 20 minutes, thin crust 10 to 14 minutes, or until crust is deep golden brown. Cut into 8 servings.

Tip if using classic crust: For a crispier crust, prebake crust 6 to 8 minutes or until crust is set and dry, then add toppings; bake pizza 12 to 16 minutes.
