Cooking Instructions:



Step 1: Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a large bowl. Mix well and then cover and refrigerate until needed.



Step 2: Mix 1/2 tablespoon yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/2 cup warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then stir to dissolve. In a large bowl, mix the yeast water, flour, melted butter, salt, and garlic powder and form a smooth dough. You might have to add a little more flour if too sticky. Shape the dough into a ball. Cover and let it rise for at least an hour in a warm place.



Step 3: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On a well floured surface, roll the dough out into a large circle. Place the dough on the Pizza Crisper and pre-bake the crust for 5 minutes. Pre-cook the bacon before placing on pizza, and make sure to squeeze/drain the liquid from the pineapple and pepper.



Step 4: Spread 1 cup of sauce on the pre-baked crust and add cheese. Then top with ham, bacon, pineapple, and sliced jalapeño peppers.



Step 5: Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F
