Preparation

Preparing the Feijoada Base

Heat oil

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Sauté vegetables

Sauté onion and garlic until translucent.

Cook beans

Add black beans, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.

Ensure all canned beans are thoroughly drained to prevent sogginess on your pizza.

Preparing the Dough

Combine dry ingredients

In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and yeast.

Add wet ingredients

Add olive oil and warm water, and mix until a dough forms.

Knead and rise

Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes, until smooth. Let rise for 1 hour in a greased bowl.

Cooking Process

Grill the pineapple

Grill until golden brown with distinct marks, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Use a grill pan to achieve perfect grill marks on pineapple if an outdoor grill is unavailable.

Build the pizza

Roll out dough, spread sauce, layer with feijoada mix, sausage, and cheese. Top with grilled pineapple.

Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes.
