Ingredients

• 375 g All-purpose flour
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 10 g Granulated sugar
• 5 g Salt
• 240 ml Warm water
• 30 ml Olive oil
• 120 ml Tomato sauce
• 200 g Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 150 g Cooked ham, diced
• 120 g Pineapple chunks, diced
• 5 g Dried oregano
• 1 egg Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 30 cm x 40 cm.

Step 6

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, diced ham, and pineapple chunks evenly over the sauce.

Step 8

Add a light sprinkle of dried oregano for flavor.

Step 9

Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.

Step 10

Cut the log into 12 equal slices, around 2.5 cm thick each.

Step 11

Place the slices into a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, cut-side up, leaving a little space between each bun.

Step 12

Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 13

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

Step 14

Brush the tops of the buns with egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 15

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Ham and Pineapple Pizza Buns!
