Frequently Asked Questions About Hawaiian Pizza Recipe

How do I know if my pizza is perfectly cooked?

• The crust should be golden brown on the edges, and the cheese should form light golden bubbles on the surface.

Why should I grate my own cheese?

• Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that affect its melting quality. Freshly grated mozzarella melts more smoothly and gives a creamier texture.

How do I store leftover Hawaiian pizza?

• Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheating: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.
