Ready in just under an hour and packed with flavor, these pizza buns are a crowd-pleasing fusion of comfort food and tropical flair.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, and salt.
Gradually pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
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.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 30 cm x 40 cm.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, diced ham, and pineapple chunks evenly over the sauce.
Add a light sprinkle of dried oregano for flavor.
Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
Cut the log into 12 equal slices, around 2.5 cm thick each.
Place the slices into a greased or parchment-lined baking tray, cut-side up, leaving a little space between each bun.
Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious Ham and Pineapple Pizza Buns!
