I Cooked A Pizza With Power Tools

Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-Purpose Flour (sifted, for dough)
• 1 cup Warm Water (110°F (43°C) to activate yeast)
• 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast (instant dry yeast)
• 1 tsp Granulated Sugar (feeds the yeast)
• 1 tsp Salt (fine sea salt)
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil (extra virgin, for dough)
• 1 cup Pizza Sauce (store‑bought or homemade tomato sauce)
• 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (shredded, low‑moisture)
• 1 cup Pineapple Chunks (canned, drained)
• 1 cup Ham (diced Canadian bacon or cooked ham)
• 1 tsp Dried Oregano (optional, for flavor)
• 0.5 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

1. Activate Yeast

   In the mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

   Time: PT5M

2. Make Dough

   Add flour, salt, olive oil, and the activated yeast mixture to the bowl. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead by hand for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

   Time: PT10M

3. First Rise

   Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

   Time: PT1H

4. Preheat Oven

   Place a pizza stone on the middle rack (or prepare a baking sheet). Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) for at least 20 minutes.

   Time: PT20M

   Temperature: 475°F

5. Shape the Pizza Base

   Punch down the risen dough, turn it onto a lightly floured surface, and roll or stretch it into a 12‑inch circle. Transfer to parchment paper if using a baking sheet.

   Time: PT5M

6. Add Sauce

   Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a ½‑inch border for the crust.

   Time: PT2M

7. Add Toppings

   Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, then distribute pineapple chunks and diced ham evenly. Finish with dried oregano and red pepper flakes if desired.

   Time: PT2M

8. Bake Pizza

   Slide the pizza (with parchment, if used) onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12‑15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.

   Time: PT13M

   Temperature: 475°F

9. Cool and Serve

   Remove the pizza with the cutter, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

   Time: PT5M
