Description
Gluten-free Hawaiian pizza has never been better! Our recipe takes ham & pineapple pizza to the next level with our homemade pizza crust, savory pizza sauce & bacon!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 batch gluten-free pizza dough*
- 1/2-1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1/3-1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/3 cup diced fresh pineapple*
- 4 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
- Salt & black pepper
- Optional Extras: parmesan cheese, parsley, green onions
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep. To start, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a pizza pan or sheet pan with parchment paper, and drizzle with 1/2 Tablespoon olive oil.
- Par-Bake Pizza Crust. Pat the pizza dough out into a 12-inch circle. Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. (If using pre-made crust, you can skip this step.)
- Spread With Sauce. Carefully, spread 1/3-1/2 cup pizza sauce onto the pre-baked crust, leaving a small border around the edge.
- Add Toppings. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese. Top with ham, pineapple, and bacon. Add 1/2 cup remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake Pizza in preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the crust is just golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Garnish. If desired, brush the freshly baked crust with olive oil. Sprinkle with dried or fresh parsley, a pinch of coarse salt, and a little black pepper on top of the pizza. Feel free to add additional garnish, such as parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, a little oregano, or green onions, to taste.
- Serve & Store. Cut pizza into 8 equal pieces and enjoy warm. Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 days.
Notes
- Gluten-Free Pizza Dough. We highly recommend our gluten-free pizza dough for taste and texture. If you’re using a store-bought gluten-free pizza crust, you can skip the par-baking step, unless it’s recommended on your crust packaging. Not gluten-free? Feel free to use regular pizza dough. .
- Can I Use Another Gluten-Free Crust? Yes. You can use store-bought gluten-free pizza dough (like Trader Joe’s or Manini’s), or you can use a pre-made gluten-free pizza crust. I do NOT recommend cauliflower crust for this recipe, since the toppings are a bit more substantial and heavy. I find that cauliflower crust can’t stand up to the toppings well.
- Can I Use Frozen Pineapple or Canned Pineapple For Hawaiian Pizza? Yes! Fresh pineapple will give you the freshest flavor, but you can absolutely use canned pineapple or frozen pineapple instead. If using canned pineapple, drain as much liquid as possible to avoid making the pizza soggy. To use frozen pineapple, thaw the pineapple first to avoid adding extra liquid to the pizza.
- Extra Toppings To Try. Feel free to match extra toppings, like caramelized onion, jalapeños, olives, or green onion!Â
