Loving all the homemade pizza posts thought I'd share one of my own. Fresh dough with garlic white sauce, honey baked ham, red onion, pickled jalapenos, pineapple, mozzarella, and a BBQ sauce drizzle. That salty, spicy, sweet combo is just great. One of my favorite pizzas next to chicken, bacon, artichoke and spinach.
I use a pizza stone and crank my oven to 550. Then when I put the pizza in and swap it to high broiler to get that top flame roasting my toppings that I tend to go a little heavy on before my dough gets too done.
The pizza stone is pre heated in the oven. I assemble the pizza on cooking parchment because moving a topped pizza with raw dough is near impossible. So I slide the made pizza still on paper into the paddle and into the oven(paper stays with pizza). If you don't have the paddle just assemble on a baking tray without a lip so you can still slide it onto a stone. IMO to he stone makes a big difference in the finished product and even cooking.
Yeah. I dislike regular Hawaiian pizzas but a Hawaiian pizza with jalapenos is probably my favorite pizza. It's amazing how much of a difference one topping can make.
Oh heck yes. You should try making linguica(or your favorite spicy sauce sausage) on a hoagie roll paired with your favorite jelly. Sweet and spicy all over a weirder but great combo.
There's the old debate of pineapple on pizza but it's just about finding the balance. I think any Hawaiian style pizza should have the jalapeno to counter the sweet pineapple.
But Hawaiian has ham, so why no red sauce? If it doesn't have ham as well as pineapple, it's not a Hawaiian. Still, absolutely beautiful pie. Wish could try some! Cowabunga, dude!
