Hawaiian Pizza
Makes 2 large pizzas
For the dough
1 cup warm water
1/2 tbsp yeast
1/2 tbsp salt
2 1/2 cups plain flour, divided
3 tbsp vegetable oil
For the garnish
4 tbsp tomato puree
1 green capsicum (poivron)
1 medium pineapple
400g boneless chicken, cooked
200g mozarella cheese
2 tsp powdered oregano
Directions:
Without Mixer Dough
Mix yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 mins. You know its
ready when the mixture becomes milky.
In a large mixing bowl, add in 1 1/4 cups of flour & salt. Mix well
Add in your yeast mixture, and gently mix with a wooden spoon until
everything is well incorporated. Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil and mix
At this stage you'll
obtain a rather thick batter. But don't panic!!!! That's the way
it should be at this instant.
Gradually add the remaining 1 1/4 cups of flour & mix in between.
At this stage, your flour will incorporate and will come into a ball.
Leave your wooden spoon, fold up your sleeves and get your hand into the mixture,
as it would be hard to mix with the wooden spoon
Mix with your hands and form a ball
Knead for 10 min
With Mixer dough
Mix yeast with warm water and let sit for 5 mins. You know its
ready when the mixture becomes milky.
In the bowl of your mixer, add 1 1/4 cups of flour & salt. With the use of your hook,
mix on low for 30 seconds
Add your yeast mixture & mix on medium speed for 2 mins
or until everything is well incorporated
Add in 2 tbsp oil and mix for 1 min on medium speed
Add in the remaining flour, all at a time
Start by mixing on low, and gradually increase the speed
Mix for 5 minutes
In a clean bowl, place your dough and gently coat it with the remaining 1 tbsp of oil.
Cover with a damp cloth, and let rest for 1hr in a warm place.
Cut your capsicum into slices and your pineapple into small pieces
Keep aside
After 1hr
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius
Remove your dough from the bowl, place it on your work surface and
knead for 5 min to release the trapped air.
Using your floured rolling pin, roll out your dough. It should be 1/2 cm thick
Carefully, place it in your pizza pan or pizza tray,
Add in 2 tbsp of tomato puree in the middle, and spread it evenly,
using the back of a spoon.
Cut several thin slices of mozzarella (approx 6) and place it on your pizza.
Evenly distribute half (200g) of your cooked chicken.
Add half of your capsicum & half of your pineapple.
Garnish your pizza with another 10 slices of mozzarella chesse
Sprinkle your oregano on top of your pizza.
Repeat the same step for your second pizza
Cook for 15 minutes.
& voila, its ready
You can now satisfy your crave. :)
Tips:
- Use best type of flour, to obtain a good crust
- The temperature of water should be equal to your body temp. (place some water onto your hands, to check its temperature)
- Never mix yeast with salt!!! It will kill the yeast and prevent your dough from rising
- Dust your work surface, rolling pin, pizza pan or pizza tray with enough flour so that your dough doesn't stick to the surface
- Cook your chicken before making the pizza, so that everything is already prepared once your dough is ready
