Final Notes for the Homemade Ham and Pineapple Pizza Recipe
➡️ Pizza is today among the most popular food recipes all over the world. There are hundreds of pizza recipes. Some of them are traditional recipes from Italy, the country where pizza was made for the first time (at least, Italian say that!). However, there are many pizza recipes that were made in other countries for the first time. Such an example is Hawaiian pizza.
➡️ Do you think the recipe on this page is from the Hawaiian Islands? No, it seems that the pineapple pizza type comes from Ontario, Canada. The Greek-Canadian Sam Panopoulos is considered its inventor in 1962. He called it Hawaiian Pizza because it sounds exotic and attracts more customers.
➡️ Most pizza recipes use tomato sauce to brush the dough before adding toppings. This homemade pineapple pizza recipe doesn’t use this technique, instead, I recommend adding bought or homemade tomato sauce or ketchup on top when the pizza is ready.
➡️ There are two main reasons why I recommend not brushing the crust with tomato sauce before baking. First, the pizza base will turn crunchy and fluffy at the same time. Second, there are people who don’t like the tomato taste on the pizza and want to enjoy a pizza recipe without tomato sauce.
➡️ Besides the mentioned ones, you can add more toppings to this homemade pizza such as mushrooms, red pepper slices, chili pepper slices, olives, and so on.
