Hello, pizza lovers! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings together the sweet and savory flavors of Hawaiian Pizza. This classic dish combines juicy pineapple, savory ham, and gooey melted cheese on a crispy crust. It’s a perfect blend of flavors that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every bite. Let’s dive into this delicious and easy-to-make recipe!
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up. If not, a baking sheet will work just fine. Lightly dust your pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared pizza peel or baking sheet.
Add the Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top with Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add the diced ham and pineapple chunks on top of the cheese. Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using.
Bake: Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Brush the crust with a little olive oil for extra flavor. Enjoy your sweet and savory Hawaiian Pizza!
