Prep
-
Pizza dough - Cover in flour and let rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling out. (Resting dough gives gluten time to chill out, which makes the dough much more pliable.)
-
Onions / Cheese / Green onions / Jalapenos - Prep as directed. Store green and white parts of green onions together and all other ingredients separately. (Can be done up to 4 days ahead)
-
Make pizza sauce - Heat cooking oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and saute until soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and tomato paste. Simmer for 3 minutes. Taste and add some salt if needed. You can add a pinch of sugar if you'd like your sauce a bit sweeter. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
-
Pineapple - If using fresh pineapple, chop. If using canned pineapple, drain. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
-
Lettuce / Cucumbers - Prep as directed and combine. (Can be done 1 day ahead)
