This is an adopted recipe that I found to be an incredible blend of flavors. The basil is so fresh with the sweetness of the pineapple and saltiness of the feta and ham. I used a refrigerated pizza crust, but homemade would just make it better. Ingredients:
1 recipe pizza dough, your favorite recipe |
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained |
1/4 cup walnuts, broken |
1 tablespoon fresh basil, slivered |
1/4 cup deli ham, cut in fine shreds |
1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled |
5 tablespoons olive oil |
Directions:
1. Use a well-seasoned heavy cast iron skillet, at least 12 in diameter.
2. Preheat oven to 450 F (very HOT).
3. Toss grated mozzarella cheese with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
4. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil into skillet.
5. Press dough into pan.
6. Spread mozzarella over crust then follow in this order with: pineapple, ham, basil, walnuts, feta.
7. Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.
8. Put into very hot preheated oven - bake for about 20 minutes.
9. Use a spatula to lift edge of crust to check that it is golden and crisp.
10. Remove when done to your liking, transfer to platter, slice and serve.
