Aussie ham and pineapple pizza

Serves: 6-8 | Preparation Time: 45 mins | Cooking Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

• 300g Tasman leg ham, sliced
• 3 cups bread flour (you can use pizza flour)
• Extra flour for kneading
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 7g dried yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 300ml warm water
• 120ml pizza sauce
• 1 small tin, pineapple pieces
• 1 cup pizza cheese or mozzarella, grate

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 200⁰C.
2. In a large bowl combine the bread flour, salt and olive oil.
3. In a small bowl mix together the dried yeast, sugar and warm water allow mixture to sit in a warm place until it forms a sponge.
4. Make a well in the centre of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a soft sticky dough is formed.
5. Sprinkle a little extra flour on a work surface and knead the dough 2-3 minutes until smooth. Place the dough into a clean, oiled bowl and cover with cling film. Prove in a warm place until dough has doubled in size.

7. Spread a little pizza sauce over each pizza base. Top with fresh pineapple pieces and sliced ham. Sprinkle over the cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated 200⁰C oven for 18-20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
9. Cut into serving sized pieces and serve immediately.

Notes:

• Pizza dough may be made ahead of time and proved in the refrigerator overnight.
