Sunday Dinner: Hawaiian pizza

Sundays can be busy, and, when dinnertime rolls around, no one wants to spend a lot of time making a meal. Instead of dialing for pizza delivery, try this Hawaiian pizza for a Sunday dinner. It can be on the table to enjoy in about 15 minutes.

We used barbecue sauce for the added tanginess, but you can use tomato sauce if you prefer. The salty prosciutto paired with the sweet pineapple is a great match, and, because prosciutto is a cured meat, it's ready to eat at any time. This recipe makes a smaller, 8-inch pizza, but you can easily increase the ingredients a bit and use a larger pizza crust.
