MAUI MEMORY PIZZA
(similar to Round Table's Maui Zaui pizza)

"All amounts are approximated I didn't do much measuring when I was making this!"

CRUST: (adapted from The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook)
2 cups bread flour (plus up to 1/4 cup more, as needed)
1/2 envelope of active dry yeast (1 1/8 teaspoons)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
7/8 cup warm water
FOR THE SAUCE:
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
FOR THE TOPPINGS:
4 to 6 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
4 slices Canadian bacon or similar-sized ham, chopped
2 to 3 slices pineapple, chopped
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 green onion, chopped

TO MAKE THE CRUST:
Combine 2 cups flour, yeast, and salt in a standing mixer with a dough hook, then slowly add the olive oil and water as the machine is running. Mix until the dough comes together and all flour is incorporated. Let it rest for 2 minutes, then run the machine again for 5-8 minutes, adding up to 1/4 cup of flour until the dough forms a smooth ball. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (takes about an hour for me).

TO MAKE THE PIZZA:
Turn the dough out and shape into a rough rectangular shape. Cover with the plastic wrap and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.

Turn on the oven to 400 degrees F and heat a baking stone. (If you don't have a baking stone, you can preheat a rimless baking sheet, but not for as long.)

Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until simmering, then turn the heat down and simmer until reduced - about 15-20 minutes.

Stretch the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper (approximately 9x13-inches) to form a rectangular shape. Smear the pizza sauce over the dough, then sprinkle the chopped ham, pineapple, and red onions over the sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella, then sprinkle bacon on top. Slide the parchment paper and pizza onto the baking stone (using another rimless baking sheet makes this easier).

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to brown and the edges of the dough are starting to brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with green onions. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes to let the cheese set before slicing and serving.

Makes 1 rectangular pizza, approximately 9x13-inches. Serves 2, 3 if you have salad or other side dishes.
