Hawaiian pizza

Another variety consists of pineapple and Canadian bacon. It is the most popular pizza in Australia, accounting for 15% of pizza sales. Wikipedia.
This version is the ham, mozzarella and pineapple version - and very good it is too.

Ingredients
Printable π¨ shopping π list & π©βπ³ method for this recipe
- 1 portion pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons Tomato sauce for pizza
- 250 g pack of sliced cooked ham
- 2 balls of mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces
- 280g can of pineapple slices or chunks (about 280g)
- Olive oil
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 an onion, peeled and sliced, optional
- fine yellow cornmeal for dusting
Mise en place
- If using a pizza stone, preheat the pizza stone under a very hot grill for about 20 minutes. Place it about 8 cm (3") from the heat source.
- Leave the pineapple pieces draining in a sieve while you prepare the pizzas - too much juice can make a soggy pizza.
Method
- Preheat the grill to high as you can get it
- Set the pizza stone about 8 cm (3") below the heat source or the pizza may burn
- Dust the work surface with fine yellow cornmeal and then stretch or roll the dough into two thin rounds
- Prick the pizzas all over with a fork. This prevents it puffing up too much and burning while it is cooking.
- Grill the pizza for about 2 minutes on one side only or until browned.
- Remove from the oven, flip over and add the topping.
- First give a little drizzle of olive oil then layer the ham cheese and pineapple over the pizza.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil and bake for for 3 to 5 minutes (depending on how hot your oven is) or until the cheese browns a little. Watch it carefully as it's easy to burn at such a high heat.
- Serve!
