Pastrami and Pineapple Pizza

Ingredients

• Pizza dough (1 pound)
• Pizza sauce (1 cup)
• Mozzarella cheese, shredded (2 cups)
• Pastrami, sliced (8 ounces)
• Pineapple, diced (1 cup)
• Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
• Salt (to taste)
• Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats to achieve a crispy crust.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring an even shape.
3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for a crunchy crust.
4. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce to create a cheesy base.
5. Evenly arrange the sliced pastrami and diced pineapple over the cheese, ensuring every bite gets a balance of flavor.
6. Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese for that gooey, melty finish.
7. Drizzle the assembled pizza with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
8. Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven or onto the pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
9. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to prevent burns and ensure perfect slices.
