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.
