Hawaiian Pizza Recipe

Despite its name, Hawaiian pizza is a Canadian invention, a classic American-style pie topped with cheese, ham, and pineapple chunks.

It was originally created by Sam Panopoulos in Chatham, Ontario in the mid-1960s, when he added pineapple to the dish and started serving it to the customers of his Satellite Restaurant.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS

1 pound pizza dough, or homemade dough

olive oil, for greasing baking sheet and brushing

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

4 ounces Canadian bacon, about 4 to 5 slices

1/2 cup diced pineapple, 100g, 3 ½ ounces, fresh or canned

1/4cup chopped bacon, cooked, ¼-inch dice, about 4 slices

oregano, fresh or dried, for sprinkling (optional)

DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO BAKE MAKE HAWAIIAN PIZZA RECIPE

Preheat to 500ºF (260ºC). Set the oven rack to the lower position. Allow the pizza dough to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Grease large baking sheet with olive oil. On a lightly floured surface, stretch and shape the dough into a 10-inch circle.

Transfer dough to the baking sheet. Use fingers to press into a 12-inch circle. Leave the edges slightly thicker, about ½-inch tall and wide. Brush some olive oil on the edges of the dough to make the crust crispier when baked.

Spread the sauce on top, followed by the cheese, ham, pineapple, and bacon. Sprinkle the oregano on top.

Bake the pizza on the lowest oven rack until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes. Slice and serve pizza immediately when still hot.
