A bit of history

It blends the sweetness of pineapple with the saltiness of ham, creating a flavor contrast that delights food lovers. Mini Hawaiian pizza is a fun and tasty option, perfect for parties or family dinners.
Step by step: How to prepare mini Hawaiian pizza
1. Preparing the dough
In a cup, dissolve 10 g of fresh yeast in 200 ml of warm water. Add a pinch of salt and your favorite spices: basil and white pepper. Mix well to activate the yeast. After a few minutes, you will notice that the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.
2. Enhancing the dough
In a large bowl, combine 300 g of flour (whole wheat and rye flour) with the two tablespoons of yogurt. This will give the dough a fluffier texture and a richer taste. Add the yeast mixture and start kneading the dough. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little extra flour.
3. Proofing
When the dough becomes elastic and homogeneous, cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes, until it doubles in volume.
4. Shaping the mini pizzas
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a baking tray with oil and sprinkle a little flour on the bottom. When the dough has risen, oil your hands and take a quarter of the dough. Shape it with your hands until you get a base about 0.5 cm thick. Repeat the process for the other portions of dough.
5. Preparing the toppings
Use a spoon to spread each mini pizza with ketchup diluted with a little water. This will provide a savory taste and help keep the ingredients in place. Then, add the diced ham, pineapple cubes, and optionally, the caramelized chili pepper. Don't forget to place the slices of cheese on top so that they melt beautifully during baking.
6. Baking
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the mini pizzas for 20 minutes, or until the base turns golden and the cheese melts and browns slightly. Enjoy the enticing aroma that will fill the kitchen!
Serving suggestions
These mini Hawaiian pizzas are excellent warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or with a garlic yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast. Additionally, a glass of beer or a tropical cocktail will pair perfectly with these delights.
Nutritional benefits
Whole wheat flour and rye flour provide increased nutritional value, being rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Pineapple is an excellent source of vitamin C and beneficial enzymes for digestion. Plus, yogurt adds a touch of probiotics, promoting gut health.
