2. Ingredients needed for Hawaiian Pineapple Pizza Bites

• 1 sheet of puff pastry or pre-made pizza dough
• 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup of cooked ham or Canadian bacon, diced
• 1/2 cup of pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• Tomato sauce or marinara sauce for spreading
• 1 teaspoon of oregano or Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Optional: red pepper flakes for a spicy kick

3. Step-by-step instructions for preparing Hawaiian Pineapple Pizza Bites

Preparing the dough

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the puff pastry or pizza dough on a floured surface to a thin, even layer. Use a round cutter or a glass to cut out small circles about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place these circles onto a lined baking sheet.

Adding the toppings

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each dough circle. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce. Add a small piece of cooked ham and pineapple chunks on each. Sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes for extra flavor.

Assembling and baking

Brush the edges of each dough circle with a beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the edges are crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking.

Serving your pizza bites

Let the Hawaiian Pineapple Pizza Bites cool slightly before serving. They’re perfect for dipping in extra tomato sauce or a spicy ranch dressing for added flavor. Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.

4. Tips for perfect Hawaiian Pineapple Pizza Bites

• Use fresh pineapple for a juicier, more vibrant flavor. Drain excess liquid to avoid soggy bites.
• If you prefer a crispier crust, brush the edges with additional egg wash before baking.
• For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free pastry or cauliflower crust.
• Customize with additional toppings like jalapeños or sliced red onions for variation.

5. How to store and reheat Hawaiian Pineapple Pizza Bites

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the bites on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. For a quick fix, microwave for 30-60 seconds, but note that the crust may lose some crispy texture.

6. Serving suggestions for Hawaiian Pineapple Pizza Bites

These pizza bites are versatile and can be served in various ways:

• As an appetizer at parties and game nights
• Part of a buffet or finger food platter
• As a fun snack for kids or adults alike
• Paired with fresh fruit or a mixed greens salad for a light meal
