Hawaiian Luau Pizza Recipe

Make a Hawaiian Pizza for a Luau

Having a Hawaiian theme party? Try this Hawaiian Luau Pizza Recipe by Angie. It is easy to make, and more for grownups than the kiddos. Enjoy!

Make a Hawaiian Pizza for your next Luau.

Please excuse the huge chunks of pineapple, I bought the chunked pineapple and in the middle of the evening chaos around my house, I forgot to chop it up a little bit so decided to just go with it so the kids could start eating dinner before they started to complain and want to snack me out of house and home. lol.

Hawaiian Luau Pizza Recipe

1 pkg refrigerated thin crust pizza dough

1 12 oz piece deli ham (I just buy a package of diced ham)

2 green onions with tops, divided

1 large jalapeno pepper (I seed and remove ribs from mine to cut down on heat)

3/4 C ketchup

1 Tbsp Smoky Applewood Rub

1 garlic clove pressed

8 slices cheddar cheese (I just use shredded cheese)

3/4 C canned pineapple tidbits, drained

• Preheat oven to 425.  
• Lightly brush Large Bar Pan with canola oil. Unroll dough in bottom of pan, gently stretching and pressing dough to cover bottom of pan. 
• Bake 12-14 min or until deep golden brown.
• Meanwhile dice ham into 1/2 in pieces (if you chose not to buy already diced ham), thinly slice green onions; set aside the tops, finely chop the jalapeno using Food Chopper.  
• Combine ham, onion bottoms, jalapeno, ketchup, rub and pressed garlic in Classic Batter Bowl and mix well.  Stack cheese slices; cut in half diagonally for a total of 16 slices( unless using shredded cheese) using pizza cutter.
• Remove pan from oven to cooling rack.  Evenly top crust with ham mixture, pineapple and cheese.  Bake 5-6 min or until cheese is melted.  Remove pan from oven to cooling rack and cut pizza into 16 slices and sprinkle with green onion tops.

My family loves this pizza, and what sets it off is the BBQ sauce flavor that ketchup and rub combined make.  The first time I made this my kids ate almost the entire pan!

Directions: 
Preheat oven to 325° F. Grease and flour Classic Batter Bowl.

Prepare cake mix according to package directions; pour into batter bowl. Bake 1 hour, 10 minutes to 1 hour, 15 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. 

Remove from oven to cooling rack; cool 15 minutes. Run spatula around outside of cake and gently turn out onto cooling rack, large end down.

Cool 3 hours. Using serrated bread knife, trim large end of cake to level. Place cake, large end down, onto cake plate.

Using spreader or butter knife, spread bottom layer of cake with about half of the filling, forming a 3/4-inch layer.

Repeat with remaining layers and filling, ending with the top layer of cake. Spread any remaining filling over outside of cake to create a smooth surface. 

Frost cake with remaining whipped topping.

Carefully insert spatula horizontally into each wedge, dividing into two equal portions.
