Ham and Pineapple Hawaiian Pizza

With salty ham and juicy pineapple, Hawaiian Pizza is the most hotly debated combination of pizza toppings. This sweet and savory pie might have detractors, but there’s no arguing that it’s one of the most popular choices for takeout. Try this simple recipe from Dan Pelosi and you can recreate this iconic pizza at home. And the even heat distribution of the stoneware Pizza Stone means a crisp, chewy crust each and every time.

1 recipe Easy Pizza Dough

1 cup Easy Pizza Sauce

1 cup (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup sliced ham, cut into 1-inch pieces

1/4 cup pineapple chunks, cut into 1-inch pieces

Place the pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 500°F, with the stone inside.

On a piece of flour-dusted parchment paper, form the dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. Spread pizza sauce evenly across the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the perimeter. Sprinkle mozzarella over the sauce then top with the ham and pineapple.

Using the parchment paper, place the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 4 minutes, then open the oven to remove the piece of parchment from under the pizza. Cook the pizza until the crust if browned and cheese is bubbly, about 6-8 minutes longer.

Remove the pizza from the oven and place onto a cutting board. Allow pizza to cool slightly before slicing with a pizza cutter, chef’s knife or sharp kitchen shears.
