I had pizza in Italy & it was so much better than any pizza I've had in the USA. Same with pasta. Italian pasta makes American pasta seem like shoe leather.
When yeast was hard to get during the Covid19 lockdown, I put about 1/2 packet of yeast in a quart mason jar with a cup of water and 2.5 cups of flour to make a starter. You can use 1 cup of starter and then replenish the starter so you have a infinite amount of yeast. You usually have to double the amount of rising time for the yeast to populate the dough. I still have my starter and use it.
@@axemenace6637 With cheese, it depends upon the specific cheese. What I've found is not so good on most hawaiian pizzas is the ones where they add nuts. Personally, my favorite for the type pizza is what has been referred to as the 3S Pizza at some places near me. Sweet, Spicy, & Salty.. It's a pan crust (With garlic butter on it) with a honey BBQ sauce. Uses a provolone based cheese blend for the cheese. For the toppings, it's Pineapple, Bacon, Jalapeno, and Red Onion (Often with the added possibility of adding chicken to it). The bacon is crumbled and crispy, working better with the pizza than ham because most places use larger pieces of Ham which doesn't work as well for a pizza topping.
@@Seki1987 You'll be in for a treat. He uses a more concise 'Enjoy' in his older videos but the 'Enjooooy' increases more over the years. Anyways, it's fun just to hear his voice.
After watching this video from Chef John I felt my self already in the heaven. Thank You Chef for these incredible recipes sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
@@noob19087 The thing is most people don't consider that logic. You'll find tons of people much more willing to eat toppings like onions, banana peppers, or bell peppers on pizza when those can be fairly sweet when caramelised. For many it's just irrational hatred.
The best pineapple pizza experience is "Hawaiian pizza", though I think that's just an expression. It comes with a Polynesian sauce instead of the usual tomato based.
As an Italian we rely on a fresh summer fare of cantaloupe and fab prosciutto from Monte Peglia. In winter, cantaloupe not available so we make do with pineapple. No flat bread, plain, simple, effective stuff. Greetings from Bettona!
I love watching all your videos you truly are a wonderful person to watch and listen to you make everything look easy and amazing which is the number one reason I only watch you! And your voice is a nice touch plus all your little puns ! If I’ve had a stressful day at work I just go lay on my bed or couch and watch one of your videos I’ve probably watched a 1,000 times ! Boom stress gone ! Thanks for being you!! Your the best!!!
The best meal I ever had featured a flatbread starter topped with fresh, warm ricotta, prosciutto, quince paste and fresh sage. Miraculous. I have always wanted to replicate the recipe but couldn't find a good flatbread that looked like what I had eaten all those years ago at "L'Opera" in Long Beach, CA. I think this dough and technique are what I have been searching for. Thank you, Chef!!
Several italian friends told me that the newest craze in terms of pizza in italy is the "hotdog and french fries" pizza. I couldnt believe it untill I saw pictures. For creating and enjoying this variation, italians sure are too unforgiving when it comes to pineapple pizza.
When choosing a pineapple, I look for a ripening lower end, with golden yellow starting to show through. I also smell the cut end for sweetness. When I bring it how I let it ripen fully on the counter for a few days on its side is it doesn’t bruise and when it’s mostly golden yellow, it’s super sweet! More sweet at the bottom always, it’s ok to ad sugar or honey :)
I have watched hundreds, maybe thousands, of videos that involve making bread, and this is the first time I've actually encountered a knead-need pun. I feel fulfilled.
I'm fine with this, the issue has always been the interaction of pineapple and cheese for me. I LOVE grilled pineapple and pork, putting it on flatbread is genius!
Personally, I don't see anything wrong with putting pineapple, figs, peaches or any other fruit on pizza. My philosophy is "expand your tastebuds". Culinary experience is exciting 🍕🍍🍑☺
The tough core that is usually thrown out is usually the best part of the pineapple, especially in the inner most part. Try eating it with a sprinkle of black salt and slices of a medium hot chilli pepper.
Sweet & Salty: Mixing sweet fruit, with salty meat, most often a great combination. Butter on bread with strawberry jam and bologna, with a big cold glass of milk = Delicious!
My MOM always put pineapple and cloves on the ham before going into the oven a piece ham and pineapple and stuffing or biscut i still make it today so so goooooood !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the key is thin slices. When you get ananas pizzas usually, even good pizzerias, just throw on huge chunks of it making a soggy mess and removing any other flavours. Ive noticed a similar thing with avocados and sandwich bars, where they think the ratio of bread to avocado should be 1:1
I made this today except not on a bbq. Used my stove. Came out really good! Is a keeper. I do not think would add anything to it. Very clean tasting and refreshing. Next time we start our bbq, maybe try and see if the charcoal adds much. Did not want to start the coals up for just this, though.
Pineapple pizza is fine if it doesn't have tomato sauce. My favorite is a fusion of al pastor tacos, pulled pork, and pizza. Braise a pork butt in pineapple, beer, dried chilies, and garlic. Then remove and pull the pork and blend the braising liquid and drippings into a sauce. Use oaxaca cheese instead of mozzarella. The pork gets crispy edges when the pizza bakes. I tend to drizzle on some hot sauce.
Chef John, this combo is hardly new. It's old school and very delicious to put canned pineapple slices on the outside of a ham before it goes into the oven to bake. Whole cloves are also used. You can keep the flatbread. I'll take fresh biscuits and butter with the ham and pineapple.
I just did his “big chunk of beef (in my case, top sirloin roast) directly laid on (in my case, applewood) natural charcoal! AWSOME result! I thought it wasn’t possible!
I live in Hawaii & Hawaiian pizza is sold here, I've never heard anyone complain about it. Tomatoes are classified as fruit so putting pineapple on a pizza is not a stretch. I've seen people here eat pizza with chopsticks.
I have always hated pineapple on pizza but it was never grilled first, betting it’s a game changer. “In Chef John I trust” he has never steered me wrong on a recipe so I will definitely try this one! Someone in the thread also mentioned a balsamic reduction drizzled on top also sounds like a fabulous addition. Thank you Chef John for your great foods! Be Safe and Blessings! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Oooooh, I love fresh pineapples on vanilla ice cream 🍍. Since I am extremely sensitive to fresh pineapple, cooked on pizza is my favorite. Thank you for sharing 😋
This was great, but we used white nectarines instead of the pineapple because I didn't want to have a bunch of leftover pineapple. Now I've got an easy recipe for flatbread!
Chef John is a national treasure! He’s the only chef I knead
This man single-handedly got me into cooking. What a gift; and from a stranger, no less.

It's Hawaiian pizza with training wheels. Perfect way to re-educate the haters.

Hell yeah, almost any red sauce pizza is better with pineapple on it!
Wait... Banana split ice cream cake, you say?! 😃 That I would LOVE to see!
Kudos for dropping the Dwight Schroot reference!
I argued for years this combination of ingredients was a flatbread not a pizza. As a flatbread its Great! Thank you for creating this dish .
hi john i love your videos, me and my brother, james watch your videos together every day and you have inspired us to make food, love you!
Even Italy would approve. 🇮🇹
I have done this! I also included anchovies and very thinly sliced jalapeños.

You need some Goat cheese to add to that. I'd also thinking about putting it under the broiler or charring the top with a torch.

MAI!!!!!

The world must be coming to an end,for we’ve found one of the few recipes where cayenne pepper wasn’t used.
My perfect pizza is tomato sauce, ham, mushrooms, peppers, pineapple, cheese and dried oregano so I am sure this would be great too.
i love ham and pineapple
As a Canadian 🇨🇦 who used to buy his pizza from the shop where Hawaiian Pizza was invented, I approve this recipe!
Some people just look for any reason to get offended.
Looks delicious, and I agree about the pineapple. I think a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil would work as well.

Gotta love the passive-aggressive pizza cutter in the final shot. Just to drive home that it isn't pizza.
I gotta try this, looks good. I make what I call a spicy Hawaiian pizza sometimes. Pineapple, bacon, and jalapenos.

Hi Chef John!
