You can never have too many main course recipes, so give Grilled Hawaiian Pizzan a try. One portion of this dish contains roughly 26g of protein, 32g of fat, and a total of 637 calories. This recipe serves 4. If you have deli- ham, pizza dough, cheddar cheese, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the pineapple you could follow this main course with the Pineapple Cupcakes as a dessert. The Fourth Of July will be even more special with this recipe. This recipe is typical of Mediterranean cuisine.
Instructions
Preheat a grill to medium. Shape each piece of pizza dough into a ball.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil on each of 2 rimmed baking sheets, place 1 dough ball on each baking sheet and turn to coat in the oil.
Place a metal cooling rack upside down on the grill perpendicular to the grill grates (or use a grill basket); brush the rack with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in batches, grill the pineapple, scallions and ham, turning as needed, until lightly charred, 5 to 8 minutes per batch; transfer to a plate as each batch is done.
Cut the ham slices in half, if desired. Using tongs, remove the cooling rack from the grill. Pat and stretch or roll each dough ball into an approximately 8-by-12-inch oval. Carefully place each piece of dough directly on the grill and cook until marked and golden, about 5 minutes. Flip the crusts and top evenly with the cheese, ham, scallions and pineapple. Continue grilling until the cheese melts and the crust is cooked through, about 6 more minutes. (If the crust is browning too quickly, slide the pizzas to the outer edge of the grill.)
Transfer the pizzas to a cutting board and cut into pieces.
