Seriously. I did. My mother was so excited to give me this present. I’m not going to lie. I LOVE kitchen gadgets. Absurdly. Especially those great designer Swiss and Italian ones that they sell at Ross and Marshall’s for stupid cheap. They’re always perfectly the right kind of shape and color and design to hook me in to a lemon grater, which, before you get all “she’s a money waster” on me, I have used on several occasions (and it works so much better than a knife). My mom also got me a baby colander which is just big enough to do one serving of pasta or one can of anything canned.
I went out and bought a pineapple the other day, just so I could see if this gadget was legit. It really is. And so easy to use. And I was able to cut out the remainder in the skin (which isn’t that much) to use for today’s recipe.
Hawiian Pizza
1 recipe of Pizza Dough (I add rosemary and garlic to it too before cooking.)*
Canadian Bacon 1/2 cup Thinly sliced deli honey ham, cut into squares.
8 oz. Mozzarella Cheese
1/4 cup button mushrooms, sliced into pieces
1/2 cup of pineapple, diced
dash of Paprika or Chili Pepper Flakes
Prep: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Divide the pizza dough into two equal lumps after rising. Set aside one for later (spoiler alert: tomorrow). Roll the other out on a floured pan and top with a little bit of olive oil. Spread half of the cheese on the bottom layer and set aside the other half. Top with mushrooms, pineapple and ham. Use remaining cheese on the top and sprinkle with paprika or chili pepper flakes.
Cook in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cheese on the top is browned a bit, checking after 20 to make sure the dough is to desired crispiness.
