  • 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ⅔ cup very warm water (120° to 130°F) *If you don't have a thermometer, water should feel very warm to the touch
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded provelone cheese
  • 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon dry basil
  • 1 tablespoon dry oregano

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Combine 1 cup flour, Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast​, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. When using Fleischmann’s® RapidRise® Yeast​, water should be heated to 120˚F-130˚F and follow recipe instructions. If possible, use a thermometer to check temperature. Also, confirm that your yeast is not expired.
  4. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
  5. Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
  6. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  7. While the dough is resting, strain pineapple tidbits over a bowl. Reserve 3 tablespoons of the pineapple juice for the cheese mixture.
  8. To make the cheese mixture, combined shredded cheeses, pineapple juice and dry seasonings. Set aside.
  9. Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Or roll dough on a floured counter to 13-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
  10. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough.
  11. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  12. Sprinkle cheese mixture evenly over the sauce and add toppings.
  13. Bake on lowest oven rack for 12 to 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.
