Sweet and salty, this unique pizza is so delicious. I've changed the shape of the crust to create interest and chose to leave out the traditional[ red sauce in favor of sauteed fruits and vegetables. The cheese and fresh herbs add a great touch to finish it off. This can also be served as an appetizer by slicing it into thin slices on the diagonal. Serve the slices over a bed of Boston lettuce leaves and save the pineapple cap as a garnish. Finish off the meal with some vanilla yogurt topped with 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios for a power lunch!] Ingredients:
7 ounces prepared pizza dough, divided into 2 balls |
all-purpose flour, for dusting |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes |
2 ounces prosciutto, chopped |
1 cup finely chopped red onion |
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple |
1/4 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella |
freshly ground black pepper |
chopped fresh basil leaves, for garnish |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough balls to form 2 long rectangles and put them onto parchment lined baking sheets.
3. Put the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat and add the red pepper flakes. Allow the flakes to sizzle and season the oil. Add the prosciutto and onion and cook until browned, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the pineapple. Divide the mixture and spread it over the 2 pizza doughs. Top each pizza with half the mozzarella cheese and a few grindings of black pepper. Cook until the cheese is melted, about 7 to10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh chopped basil for a flavor boost. Slice each pizza on the bias with a pizza cutter and serve.
