Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2–3 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- Pan dough: 2½ cups (375 g) plain flour, 1 tbsp dry milk powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 2¼ tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup (250 ml) warm water, 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil, for the pan
- ½ cup (125 ml) pizza sauce
- 200 g mozzarella, grated (low-moisture, grated from a block)
- 120 g sliced leg ham, chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks, well drained
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan
Method
- Whisk the flour, dry milk powder, sugar, yeast and salt together. Add the water and oil and knead 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
- Pour the oil into a 28 cm round cake pan or cast-iron skillet and tilt so it coats the bottom and climbs the sides. Press the dough to the edges. Rest 20 minutes for a puffier pan crust. Heat the oven to 240°C.
- Spread the sauce to the edge — pan style carries sauce and cheese right out to the rim. Scatter the mozzarella, then the ham and pineapple, then the parmesan.
- Bake 15–18 minutes until the edge is deep golden and the cheese is bubbling and spotted brown.
- Rest 3 minutes in the pan, then slide out, slice and serve. Tip: push the cheese right up against the pan wall, where it fries into a crisp, caramelised rim — that rim is the Pizza Hut pan signature — and drain the pineapple well, or the centre goes soggy.
