Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • 9x13-inch baking pan

Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients

  • 1.75 cups self-rising flour plus extra for dusting
  • 4 tbsp cold butter chopped
  • 2 tsp granulated sugar
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped

Filling & Toppings

  • 2.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3.5 oz shaved ham finely chopped
  • 1 can crushed pineapple in juice 15 oz, drained well
  • 0.33 cup pizza sauce
  • 0.5 red onion small, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper finely diced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment paper (bottom and sides).
  • In a food processor, pulse flour, butter, and sugar until crumbly. Transfer to a bowl. Make a well in the center, add milk, parsley, ½ cup mozzarella, ham, and drained pineapple. Mix with a butter knife until a soft, sticky dough forms. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Turn dough onto a well-floured surface. Knead gently until smooth, adding more flour if needed. Roll into a 9×13-inch rectangle. Press evenly into the prepared pan.
  • Spread pizza sauce over the dough. Sprinkle with ½ cup mozzarella. Top with sliced onion and diced bell pepper. Finish with remaining mozzarella.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the base is golden and cheese is bubbly. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  • Cut the bread in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 2-inch-wide sticks. Serve warm or at room temperature.
