Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- Extra-virgin olive oil for greasing
- ½ pound No-Knead Bread and Pizza Dough or store-bought pizza dough
- ½ cup Chipotle Salsa or store-bought spicy tomato sauce
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro or basil chopped
- 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- ½ cup grated pecorino cheese
- 2 green onions chopped
- 1 cup baby arugula
Instructions
- Set your oven to preheat at 450°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough until it reaches about ¼ inch in thickness. Carefully transfer the dough to your prepared baking sheet.
- Spread the chipotle salsa evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a border of about 1 inch around the edges. Sprinkle the chopped cilantro or basil over the sauce, followed by an even layer of shredded fontina cheese. Scatter the pineapple chunks over the cheese and top everything with grated pecorino.
- Bake the pizza for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust turn golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
- Once baked, garnish the pizza with chopped green onions and a handful of fresh arugula. Slice it into portions and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a milder option, substitute chipotle salsa with regular tomato sauce.
- Experiment with toppings like roasted bell peppers or jalapeños for added flavor.
- This pizza pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a refreshing lemonade.
