Tips on Making Domino’s Hawaiian Pizza

Pizzas from Domino’s are known to have crisp edges while the inside remains soft and chewy. The combination of Domino’s pizza toppings is just delicious and not too over the top. Here’s how you can perfect Domino’s pineapple pizza at home:

Bake it in a really hot oven. Be sure to preheat the oven for at least 30 minutes before baking together with the pizza stone if you have one. When the pizza hits the hot stone, it’ll form a crispy crust! If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can use an inverted cast iron pan or a heavy duty baking pan instead.

Let the dough come to room temperature first so that it’ll bake evenly. Also, partially baking it before topping helps ensure that it’ll cook through. If you want to, you can blind bake a few pizza crusts and freeze them. Just pop one out whenever you’re craving pizza.

But make sure to drain the pineapples well, or else the pizza might turn soggy. You can use fresh or canned pineapple, but canned is much more convenient to use, plus the flavor is consistent.

Use grated dry mozzarella rather than fresh. They melt better and won’t make the pizza soggy.

Customize your pizza! Add roasted red peppers, smoked bacon, and provolone cheese, for instance, to upgrade it into Domino’s Honolulu Hawaiian Pizza!

Don’t overtop your pizza. Add just a thin layer of marinara sauce. If the toppings are too heavy, the crust might turn soggy. Put just enough Domino’s pizza toppings and be sure to spread them evenly to ensure an even flavor throughout the pizza.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep pizza crust from getting soggy?

Thaw the pizza dough at room temperature first before beginning to roll it. Blind bake it for a few minutes in order to form a crust, just like what we did for this recipe. As for the pizza toppings, the general rule is to refrain from using watery ingredients. Also, aside from putting just a thin layer of marinara sauce, adding a good amount of cheese also helps. It melts and forms a layer of barrier between the pizza and the pineapples. Keep these in mind, and your oven baked pizzas are guaranteed to have perfectly cooked crusts every time!

Why is my pizza dough not crispy?

If the oven is not hot enough, the pizza dough won’t crisp up. Make sure that it’s preheated enough in order to give the dough a good crisp. If oven temperature is not a problem, then it might be the dough itself. The dough might be too moist.

Conclusion

Say goodbye to take out and make pizza nights better by making Domino’s Hawaiian pizza at home! Enjoy the crispy pizza crust filled with ham, cheese, and pineapple toppings. It’s easy, fun, and best of all, more special with a personal touch.
