The Original 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 Greek immigrant Sam Panopoulos, inspired by sweet-and-sour Chinese flavors. The goal was to break the savory pizza mold with something refreshing. Now a classic: the triangle of salty cheese, smoky ham, and sweet pineapple is an eternal debate, but the harmony is undeniable.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with one tablespoon of oil.

Tip: Preheat the sheet if possible for a crispier bottom.
2 ✓

Drain pineapple thoroughly. Cut smaller if chunks are large. Tear or dice ham.

Tip: Moisture is the enemy. Squeeze that pineapple!
3 ✓

Roll out dough, place on sheet. Spread sauce and sprinkle oregano.

Tip: Keep sauce away from the very edge.
4 ✓

Sprinkle two-thirds of the cheese. Add ham and pineapple.

Tip: Toppings stick better when placed on cheese.
5 ✓

Top with remaining cheese.

Tip: The 'glue' layer.
6 ✓

Bake 15-18 minutes until cheese is golden and crust is crisp.

Tip: Sugar in pineapple causes edges to brown quickly.
7 ✓

Remove, drizzle edge with remaining oil, rest 5 minutes.

Tip: Resting settles the juices.
