1

Combine the water and sugar in a microwave-safe measuring cup and microwave for 50 seconds.
2

Stir in the yeast and let it sit for at least 2 minutes.
3

Mix the bread flour, semolina flour, and salt in a bowl large enough for the dough to expand to about the size of a head of lettuce.
4

Grease your hands with cooking spray.
5

Pour the water mixture into the flour mixture and use a fork to combine.
6

Transfer the dough to a work surface and fold it in half several times; the dough will be very sticky, so reapply cooking spray as needed.
7

Pour 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl and spread it over the bottom.
8

Add the dough and turn it so it has a light coating of oil to prevent sticking.
9

Cover and place in a warm spot for 1 hour.
10

Meanwhile, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
11

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
12

Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the chicken is browned and no longer pink in the centers, 8 to 10 minutes.
13

Let the chicken cool until easy to handle, about 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes.
14

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
15

Lightly grease a 14x7-inch pan and sprinkle cornmeal evenly over the bottom.
16

Grease your hands again with cooking spray and remove the dough.
17

Spread the dough in the prepared pan to an even thickness.
18

Top with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese, then add the pineapple and chicken.
19

Bake on the middle or top rack of the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden, about 23 minutes.
