How to Make the Best Hawaiian Pizza at Home - Koji's Tried and True Recipe

HAWAIIAN PIZZA

In our household, Hawaiian pizza is a beloved choice, as the blend of ham, pineapple, cheese, and red sauce complement each other beautifully. Additionally, I include peppers, onions, and mushrooms. I use baked ham, ham steaks, or deli ham cut into small squares. We roll out our pizza dough with a rolling pin and bake it on a perforated pizza pan, which makes the pizza preparation process a bit easier.
