how to make Pineapple Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

For the Pizza Dough:

2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

¾ cup warm water (110°F/45°C)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Toppings:

½ cup pizza sauce

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)

½ cup sliced ham (optional)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and yeast mixture.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or use a pizza stone preheated for best results.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter).

Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza stone or a baking sheet.

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface of the dough.

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Add the pineapple chunks and slices of ham if using.

Sprinkle oregano and red pepper flakes (if desired) over the top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 5: Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy!

Tips

For a crispy crust, bake directly on a pizza stone.

Experiment with different toppings like bacon or jalapeños for added flavor!

You might think that it's really dumb to be using fancy computer technology to solve regular-ass problems. Well, the board members and amphetamine-laced stock speculators think it's really dumb to be not giving them a ton of money. Maybe both of you are right.

Last week, my city announced that they were going to use drones to figure out when traffic is backed up. Those drones will be launched by a person, who will have to drive to the traffic jam and fly the drone out of their car. It is only through the magic of the drone that it is possible to identify the heretofore mysterious state of "there's a lot of fucking cars here."

This development was heralded as forward-looking innovation, unlike traditional municipal responsibilities such as "building a train." That's old technology, from the age of coal and steam. Shooting buzzing AliExpress drones at angry people trying to get home from work? Visionary shit.

Now that we live in an incomprehensible hell made up entirely of interlocking micro-hells, a lot of folks just like you are looking around and going: who do we blame for this? Politicians have their ideas, sure. It's mostly "not our donors," which is understandable, because nobody wants to point the fingers at the guys they spend all weekend with on the golf course as being the harbingers of a mechanized apocalypse.

Personally, I'm looking even forward-er than that. Did you know there is actually no law in my city against using one of those electrified flyswatters to knock down the traffic drones? All you need is to tape one on the end of a couple broomsticks and you can knock one of those things right into the bed of your truck, stunned, with just a little practice. Once you sell what's left of them on eBay to foreign dictators or regular perverts, you can afford a gently used Xbox. Hey, maybe technology was the answer after all.

It’s Fossil Friday, so soar into the weekend with Archaeopteryx! When this dinosaur was first described in 1861, it caused a sensation. Discovered shortly after Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection, Archaeopteryx provided an example of evolution in action—a fossil that showed the transition between reptiles and birds. The first Archaeopteryx fossils ever found included exquisitely preserved skeletons with clear imprints of wings and feathers, but also teeth and a bony tail. Today, scientists think Archaeopteryx wasn’t able to fly very well, but the species still represents a turning point in paleontologists’ understanding of the relationship between ancient dinosaurs and modern birds in the design of both its body and brain.
