Directions:

  3. Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  6. Bake the pizza on the preheated pizza stone or in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

How to Serve Hawaiian Pizza

Slice the pizza into wedges and serve it hot. It pairs nicely with a fresh salad or garlic bread. Enjoy it with family or friends for a cozy meal!

How to Store Hawaiian Pizza

If you have leftovers, let the pizza cool down and then wrap it in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake it in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm.

Tips to Make Hawaiian Pizza

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. If you can find fresh pineapple, it will make a big difference!
  • Don’t overload the pizza with too many toppings; a little goes a long way.
  • If you like a crispy crust, make sure your oven is hot enough and use a preheated pizza stone.
