Who’s ready for the weekend? Me too!! I definitely want to start it off with this Pineapple and Ham Pizza!
I actually can not believe it is Friday! With some of my kids still being on summer break I still do not have my days in order. We are still doing play dates and trips to the pool.That is how this pizza was created. I had a friend drive down to my house for a play date. I say drive down because it is a 40 minute drive between our houses. Normally we alternate week to week going back and forth but she was kind enough to come down to my house two weeks in a row. So I offered lunch! Pizza that is.
I am so glad I did. I absolutely love pineapple and ham pizza but almost never make. The pineapple gives the pizza a tangy flavor mixed with the tomato sauce makes this a great tasting pizza! So again here I am just using my basic pizza dough. This time I actually didn’t divide the dough. I made it into a rectangle pizza. This made the process go a little quicker. I just laid the pizza dough right onto parchment paper, so there was no spraying of the pan involved either. So if you need a quick under 30 minute meal this weekend why not make pizza! It satisfying with every bite! ENJOY!!
