Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pizza dough ((see notes))
½ cup pizza sauce
3 ½ ounces thinly sliced ham
½ cup pineapple tidbits
10 ounces shredded mozzarella
2 tablespoons minced chives ((optional))

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Form the pizza dough into a rectangluar shape. The backside of an 18"x13" baking sheet works great for this.
  • Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving ½ inch without the sauce at one of the short ends. Add the ham, pineapple, and mozzarella over the sauce.
  • Roll the pizza, starting at the short end with the sauce right to the edge. Use the edge without the sauce to seal the roll, pinching the dough together a little, if necessary.
  • Cut the pizza roll into 8 equal pieces. Place the pieces on a non-stick or parchment paper-lined pan. Bake for 20 minutes, until the pizza dough is cooked. Sprinkle the top with some minced chives, if using.
