Instructions
Creating Homemade Hawaiian Pizza can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven: Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
2. Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Add the sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about an inch around the edges for the crust.
4. Sprinkle the cheese: Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, covering it generously.
5. Layer the toppings: Add the diced ham and pineapple chunks on top of the cheese, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
6. Season the pizza: Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
7. Bake the pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven (or on the pizza stone) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
8. Cool and slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, slice it into wedges.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the top for added flavor and presentation.
