Delightful Thin Crust Hawaiian Pizza Recpie
Hawaiian Pizza has always been one of the most controversial pizzas since the day it was created. Some people do not understand how anyone can eat a pizza without the sweet pineapple topping the crust, while others cannot stand the pineapple and think anyone who likes it to be ridiculous. In any crowd you will usually see someone that has picked the pineapple off the pizza, but that has not stopped the Hawaiian pizza from being one of the most popular pizzas in the country.
The Hawaiian pizza recipe below is a unique one, as it calls for small strips of dried seaweed to top the pizza alongside the ham and pineapple. The cheese and tomato sauce used for the pizza are standard, but the tiny strips of dried seaweed add a slightly salty flavor to the pizza that makes it delightful and rich.
You may find that this pizza is simply too controversial for some people, but it will be a delight for those who are willing to try it. The combination of flavors is unique and enjoyable, despite the fact that it looks much like an Oriental pizza. If you can get your friends to try this pizza, you will find that they will come to love it as much as you do.
Unique Hawaiian Pizza
Ingredients -
4 cups of white flour
1 ½ cups of warm water
1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 ½ tablespoons of active yeast
1 12 oz can of tomato sauce
1 pound of grated melting cheese
½ pound of ham
1 small can of pineapple slices
1 small packet of dried seaweed for soup
Preparation:
Combine the yeast with the warm water in a small bowl, and add the mixture to the flour in a larger mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and mix with your hands until you have a large ball of dough. Knead the ball of dough thoroughly, and set it aside to rise for a couple of hours.
Preparing the tomato sauce is easy, as you simply need to place it in a saucepan to simmer for 40 minutes. Add a teaspoon of sugar and a few spices to enhance the flavor, or leave it as is.
Grate the cheese, chop the ham, and cut the pineapple slices into small pieces for your pizza.
Remove the dough from the bowl once the 2 hours have passed, and separate it into balls for pizza crusts. Roll the balls into the desired shape for your crusts, and bake them in the oven until they are stiff.
Remove the crusts from the oven and add the tomato sauce, grated cheese, ham, pineapple, and dried seaweed topping.
Place the pizza in the oven to cook for 20 minutes.
