My brother-in-law makes the best homemade yeasty pizza. Because for New Year's Eve dinner my sister and I made a lot of dishes, we needed a hot meal which would be slightly lighter than traditional Italian pizza. After brainstorming we chose pizza on a French pastry base. It was really tasty. If I made it for myself the pizza would have vegetarian ingredients. The male part of our family would choose the meat version with spicy seasonings.
The main recipients of this pizza were my children, so it was prepared with ham and pineapple, which is called Hawaiian pizza in Poland. If you don't like this, choose your favourite ingredients. Remember to choose less juicy ingredients, so as not to soak the pizza base. You only need to add your favourite sauce (tomato or garlic) and supper is ready.
Indredients:
1 pack of chilled French pastry
1 tin of tomatoes (cubed)
half an onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 tablespoon of dried oregano
1 tablespoon of butter
1 tin of pineapple
150g of ham
100g of maize
100g of cheese
salt and pepper
Heat the oven up to 180C. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper.
Melt the butter in a frying pan. Fry the diced onion and garlic. Add the tomato and oregano, spice it up with salt and pepper and stew for 15 minutes. The sauce should be quite thick. You can blend it if you don't want any tomato pieces in the sauce.
Put the French pastry onto the baking sheet, roll the edges and prick the middle of it with a fork. Bake for 5 minutes. Drain the slices of pineapple, dry them with kitchen towel and cut them into small pieces. Cut the ham into strips. Grate the cheese.
Spread the partly-baked base with the tomato sauce, put the ham, pineapple and maize onto it, and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes.
Enjoy your meal!
