Pizza came to our house unexpectedly quickly. She introduced a free atmosphere of friendly ease in gatherings and painfully familiar and dear - pride in pies. After all, some types of pizza are no different from Russian loaves. Hawaiian pizza is an unusual way to use familiar products.
Pizza - a dish of Italian cuisine, which has gained distribution on all continents due to the fast cooking, as well as a combination of all kinds of ingredients for the filling. Each gourmet can find a filling to his taste: olives and champignons, tomatoes and sausages, eggplant and pepper. And also different sauce accompaniment to it is possible: white sauce, garlic, soy, tomato and many others. The main plus - fast cooking time (about 15 minutes) - makes it indispensable for spontaneous events. It was thanks to the topping that Hawaiian pizza stood out as a new look.
Pizza for Russians has become a symbol of the West and a treat for the company. After all, this particular dish is unprecedentedly popular among young people. In America, pizza is sold everywhere, and even gained a certain national flavor. It has become very developed network of pizzerias and home delivery services.
Unlike classic pizza, Hawaiian pizza can be with thick and thin cakes. It implies a certain composition of the filling. Therefore, to cook Hawaiian pizza, you need to stock up on bacon or ham. And you should also have canned pineapples, tomato sauce or pasta, mayonnaise, cheese (mozzarella should be in the original, but you can take any rennet solid varieties). Hawaiian pizza will not lose its taste and aroma from any modifications in the filling.
To prepare this type of pizza, you will need the following simple components: wheat flour - about 300 grams, baking yeast - one briquette (50 grams), vegetable oil (preferably olive) - 30 grams, salt, water - 250 ml. Yeast must be diluted in water at a temperature of 30-35 ° C, kneading with a fork to a state of homogeneous gruel. Then they need to be put in a warm place, but not near an open flame, to activate the work of yeast fungi. After 10-15 minutes, when the process of intense gas formation begins (as can be seen from the bursting bubbles), we begin to prepare the pizza dough. To do this, pour warm water into a flour sifted through a sieve, add “suitable” yeast, table salt, and vegetable oil. Knead this mass until smooth. Leave the dough for 10 minutes to ripen, wait until it rises. Next, we roll it on parchment paper into a layer of not more than 0.5 cm thick. In the classic variation, pizza is, of course, round in shape, but its content is still more important for a home-made meal, so boldly knead the dough to the size of a baking sheet.
We cut ham (or smoked bacon) into small cubes, drain the juice from canned pineapples and chop them. Lubricate the dough layer with tomato sauce (if we use tomato paste, then add black hot pepper in it for the intensity of taste), spread the first layer of chopped ham, sprinkle with canned pineapples on top, and then cover with plenty of cheese, grated. If desired, the top of the Hawaiian pizza can be sprinkled with mayonnaise.
We put the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake at a temperature of 250-270 ° C for 10-13 minutes.
Hot pizza is served to the table, cut into portioned triangular pieces. It can be served cold for breakfast as a cold appetizer.
Hawaiian pizza is popular in Europe, Australia, Scandinavia and the western United States, however, even so, they may not be aware of it in the Hawaiian islands themselves .
