Hawaiian Pizza

We have been crushing flatbreads lately and you bet we had to do a Hawaiian one! How do you feel about pineapple on pizza? Quite frankly we love it and it is a nice treat. Super simple and those recipes are not to be messed with.

Dough Ingredients

  • 2 Tsp. Yeast

  • 2 Cups All Purpose Flour

  • 1 Cup Warm Water (120F-130F)

  • 1/4 Cup Oil

  • 2 Tsp. Sugar

  • 1 & 1/3 Tsp. Salt

Pizza Topping Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese. shredded

  • 1-2 Cups Sliced Ham OR pieces cut into match stick style pieces

  • 3/4-1 Cup Pineapple Chunks

  • 3/4 Cup Pizza Sauce

  • 2 Tbsp. Olive Oil

  • 2 Tsp. Pepper

  • 2 Tsp. Oregano

  • 1-2 Tsp. Truffle Salt

Directions

  • Start with the dough as it takes the longest. Mix the warm water and yeast together and set aside for 10 minutes. While that is waiting, mix the flour, salt and sugar together in the stand mixer with the dough hook. After 10 minutes, add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture slowly and the oil. Mix well.

  • Once the dough is fully kneaded, remove from the mixing bowl. Spray the mixing bowl with oil, form the dough into a large bowl and return to the bowl. Cover with a towel and allow to sit on the counter for 1-2 hours. 1/2 way through, punch the dough down and form into a ball again then reset.

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F degrees. Sprinkle the counter with flour and roll out the dough to desired thickness. You are likely to get 2 good sized pizzas out of this.

  • Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Place in the oven for 5 minutes to firm up the crust.

  • Remove from the oven and begin to dress. Starting with the sauce, then the cheese, the ham and finally the pineapple. Sprinkle with truffle salt, pepper, red pepper flakes if desired and oregano.

  • Lightly brush the edges with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.

  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Top with fresh arugula if desired and serve!
