Hawaiian Pizza Ham Pineapple (Print Format)

Ham, pineapple, and bacon create the perfect blend of salty and sweet atop a golden mozzarella crust.

# Ingredients:

→ Pizza

01 - 1 lb pizza dough, at room temperature
02 - 1/2 cup pizza sauce
03 - 1/2 cup sliced or diced cooked ham (3-4 oz)
04 - 8 oz pineapple chunks, drained
05 - 4 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
06 - 2 cups mozzarella cheese, whole milk/low moisture

→ Garlic Butter Parmesan Crust

07 - 1 tablespoon melted butter
08 - 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese, grated
09 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

→ To Garnish

10 - Red pepper flakes
11 - Parsley
12 - Oregano

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 450° F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating to ensure even cooking and achieve a browner, crispier crust.
02 - Slice each pineapple chunk into two thinner slices and pat them dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
03 - Spread the dough into an even 12-inch circle and use a fork to poke holes in the dough to prevent bubbling during baking.
04 - Layer the pizza base with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, ham, pineapple slices, and crumbled bacon.
05 - Bake the assembled pizza in the oven for 13 minutes, then remove.
06 - Combine melted butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Brush the mixture evenly over the pizza crust and return the pizza to the oven.
07 - Bake for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the crust achieves a golden-brown color.
08 - Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, parsley, and oregano. Slice into portions and serve immediately.
