Hawaiian Pizza Recipe 🌺🍕

Ingredients:

• 1/2 recipe homemade pizza dough (or 1 lb. store-bought pizza dough)
• 1 Tablespoon (15ml) olive oil, divided
• 1 Tablespoon (8g) cornmeal
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked ham or Canadian bacon, sliced
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• Optional: Cooked bacon crumbles for extra flavor and crunch
• Optional: Thinly sliced red onion

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
2. Roll out the pizza dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
3. Transfer the dough: Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet. Place the rolled-out dough on top.
4. Brush with olive oil: Brush the dough with half of the olive oil.
5. Add the toppings:
   • Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
   • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
   • Layer the ham or Canadian bacon slices on top.
   • Scatter pineapple chunks across the pizza.
   • If you’re feeling adventurous, add some cooked bacon crumbles and thinly sliced red onion.
6. Bake the pizza: Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone (if using) or directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
7. Remove from the oven: Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the hot pizza.
8. Slice and enjoy! Serve your Hawaiian pizza hot and savor the sweet, salty, and cheesy goodness.
