Pineapple Pork Pizza
Seasoned ground or sliced pork and pineapple top a ready-to-bake pizza base, delivering a sweet-and-savory combination that cooks in about 15 minutes. The pork adds more depth than standard ham, while the pineapple caramelizes slightly in the oven. It is a fast, crowd-friendly dinner with minimal prep.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Skillet
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 pound pork loin thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
- 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned
- 2 doughs pizza dough bases store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 bunch fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). This allows it to reach the desired temperature while you prepare the ingredients.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the sliced pork loin with garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Ensure the pork is juicy but not overly cooked.
- Meanwhile, place your pizza dough bases on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce over each base, then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
- Evenly distribute the cooked pork and pineapple chunks over the cheese. The key is to achieve a balance in every bite.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Once cooked, remove from oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider marinating the pork in soy sauce and ginger beforehand.
- For a twist, add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
