This easy pizza recipe is perfect for family dinner night. Hawaiian Pizza Braid is loaded with all your favorite toppings then braided and baked.Â
Years ago my friend made me a Pepperoni Pizza Braid and I loved it. It was such a fun new way to eat pizza. My husband's favorite pizza is Hawaiian so I decided to try it in a braid and we all loved it.
How to Make Hawaiian Pizza Braid:
Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Step two: Next roll out your pizza dough onto your baking dish. Use a pizza cutter to make cuts in the dough about a few inches down leaving a good about of space in the middle.
- Tip: Be careful to not cut all the way from one side to the other. The middle is for toppings and you want to make sure to leave enough space.
Step three: Add 4-5 tbsp of pizza sauce. Heat remaining saucing and serve for dipping. After sauce top with cheese.
- Tip: You can add more sauce to taste but adding too much could cause your pizza crust to be soggy.Â
Step four: Next add your pineapple tidbits and diced ham.
Step five: Wrap braid taking one slice over to the other until the entire dough is braided.
Baking Directions:
Step six: Spray the top of the pizza with non-stick cooking spray.
- Tip: Instead of cooking spray you could also or brush the crust with oil.
Step seven: Bake for 15-18 minutes or until dough is cooked through. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping and enjoy.
