Classic hawaiian pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses Quick Meals
Hawaiian pizza is one of the culinary world's most interesting 'accidents'. Invented not in Hawaii, but in Canada by a Greek immigrant, Sam Panopoulos, who drew inspiration from the sweet and sour flavours of Chinese dishes. The goal was to break the salty pizza taste with something refreshing. Today it's a classic: the triangle of salty cheese, smoky ham and sweet pineapple is a subject of eternal debate, but the flavour harmony is undeniable.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Prepare the tray, brush thinly with one spoon of oil.

Tip: The tray should be hot if possible (put it in empty for a few minutes), so the pizza bottom starts cooking immediately.
2 ✓

Drain the pineapple thoroughly. If chunks are large, cut smaller. Tear or chop the ham.

Tip: Moisture is the enemy of pizza. Squeeze out the pineapple!
3 ✓

Stretch out the dough, place on the tray. Spread with tomato sauce, sprinkle with oregano.

Tip: Don't take the sauce right to the edge.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with two-thirds of the cheese. Place the ham and pineapple on top.

Tip: If you put toppings on the cheese, they bake on better and don't slide.
5 ✓

Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese.

Tip: This is the 'glue' layer.
6 ✓

Bake for 15-18 minutes until the cheese is golden brown, and the crust edge is crisp.

Tip: Due to the sugar content of the pineapple, the edges can brown quickly.
7 ✓

Remove, drizzle the edge with the remaining olive oil, and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tip: Resting lets the juices settle, so it doesn't run when cut.

Recipe FAQ

What ham should I use?
Best is high quality, cooked 'Prague' ham or machine ham, which isn't too salty or too dry.
Can I put sweetcorn on it?
Many people like it, sweetcorn further enhances the sweet flavour profile and adds crunch.
