Ingredients

For the Sheet Pan

1/4 cup olive oil

For the Dough

1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F)
2 packets active dry yeast (1/4 ounce each)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour , spooned and leveled, plus more for work surface

Toppings

1/2 to 3/4 cup pizza sauce (depending on how much you prefer)
8 ounces (2 cups) shredded mozzarella cheese , divided
6 ounces Canadian bacon or cooked ham , diced small
20 ounce can pineapple rings , drained thoroughly and patted dry, diced
1/2 a small green bell pepper , diced small
1/2 a small red onion , diced small
crushed red pepper flakes , for finishing (optional)

Instructions

Brush an 11x17-inch rimmed baking sheet with a 1/4 cup olive oil. Set aside.
Pour the water into a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the sugar, oil, and salt. Add flour and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface, dust the dough with a touch of flour, and gently knead a few times, forming into a smooth elastic round.
Transfer dough to the prepared sheet pan and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place a pizza stone or inverted large baking sheet on the lower third rack.
Using your hands, gently press and stretch the pizza dough on the baking sheet into the corners and up the sides - try to cover as much of the pan as possible. Let stand for 30 minutes and gently press and stretch again, if needed, to cover the pan.
Use a large fork to pierce the pizza dough all over, starting at the center and working to within 1 inch of the edge.
Brush the dough evenly with the pizza sauce, leaving the edges bare for the crust. Then top with half of the mozzarella cheese, all of the ham, pineapple, bell pepper, and red onion. Sprinkle over the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Place the baking sheet on the hot stone and bake until the crust is puffed and golden brown and cheese is bubbly, 20-25 minutes (watch it carefully so it doesn't over-brown, since some ovens run hot.)
Remove from oven, let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a cutting board and sprinkle with a bit of red pepper flakes and slice into squares.
