Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• Ham
• Pineapple tidbits or slices
• Pizza dough
• Baking sheet or pizza pan
• Aluminum foil

1. Preheat oven to 425 F. If you are using a prepared dough, follow the temperature on the package.

2. Prepare the dough and spread onto a baking sheet or pizza pan. Place aluminum foil between the pan and the dough, if you like, so the dough won't stick, or use a bit of cooking spray.

3. Spread the pizza sauce evenly on the dough.

4. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

5. Cut the ham into about 1/2 cup of bite-sized pieces. Arrange the ham on top of the mozzarella. Canadian bacon can be substituted, if you prefer.

6. Cut the pineapple into small pieces if needed, and distribute evenly over the pizza. Top with a bit more cheese, if desired.

7. Place the Hawaiian pizza in the center of the oven. Cook for 8 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.

Tips & Warnings

• Additional toppings to customize your Hawaiian pizza include onion, jalapeno, red pepper and bacon. You might also consider a sweet barbecue sauce rather than tomato sauce.
