  1. 1

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

  2. 2

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

  3. 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. 4

    Grease your hands with cooking spray.

  5. 5

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

  6. 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. 7

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

  8. 8

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

  9. 9

    Cover and place in a warm spot for 1 hour.

  10. 10

    Meanwhile, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.

  11. 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. 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. 13

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

  14. 14

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

  15. 15

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

  16. 16

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

  17. 17

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

  18. 18

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

  19. 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.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
