The Canadian Hawaiian Pizza or HKN Pizza for short code is a Pizza combining Ham or Bacon with Pineapple. It originates out of Ontario, Canada in the early 1960s. Although for some reason I seem to remember growing up always having both Ham & Bacon with Pineapple, and so make it this way to this day. It's a controversial pizza, with some stating pineapple does not belong on pizza. I still enjoy a Good Hawaiian Pizza and enjoy this combination of Pizza Toppings every once in a blue moon. For me though, it's got to have both Ham & Bacon. You can also spice it up with some added Jalapeños.

Notes
The Overnight Pizza Dough makes quite a bit of dough, about 1500g. While the main recipe card only represents one of the pizzas you can make with the pizza dough. You can certainly make more than one, or browse our Pizza Recipes for other Pizza ideas.
