Ingredients
  

For the marinade/sauce:

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 garlic clove pressed
  • 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce
  • Juice from ½ can pineapple rings
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the pizza crust:

  • ¾ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

Pizza toppings:

  • 2 pork chops
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ can pineapple rings cut into bite-sized pieces
  • ½ small red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 jalapeño thinly sliced

For garnishing:

  • Cilantro finely chopped
  • Shredded carrots

Instructions
 

  • To make the marinade/sauce: In a medium bowl, stir to together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, red pepper, garlic, BBQ sauce and pineapple juice. Reserve ½ cup of sauce. Marinate pork chops in remaining sauce for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • To make the dough: Pour warm water into large bowl and add yeast; stir until yeast is dissolved. Add flour to water and yeast mixture, and use a wooden spoon to mix flour in until it becomes shaggy. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead dough about 10 times until it forms a slightly tacky ball of dough. You sprinkle extra flour on the dough while kneading if it becomes too sticky. Place dough ball into a large bowl lightly coated with olive oil; cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise for 1 hour.
  • After pork chops have been marinated, lightly grease a large frying pan with oil and heat to medium-high. Cook pork chops about 3-4 minutes per side or until no pink juice remains. Turn off the heat, and cover pan with a lid; let sit while you prepare the rest of the pizza.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon of cornstarch into reserved cup of sauce until dissolved. Pour sauce mixture into a small saucepan and cook on medium-high, stirring continuously until sauce thickens slightly, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Prepare all of your pizza toppings as stated in the ingredients list. Remove pork chops from pan and cut meat into thin slices.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out dough ball on a floured surface into a 12-inch pizza.
  • Transfer pizza dough onto parchment lined pizza or baking sheet. Spread sauce onto dough and top with mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, pork chop, pineapple, red onion, and jalapeño.
  • Bake pizza for 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown. Garnish with cilantro and shredded carrots if desired.
