This French Bread Hawaiian Pizza is a way to make pizza night super easy! French bread is topped with ham, bacon, pineapple, and lots of cheese in this delicious family-friendly dinner.

French bread pizza is such an easy dinner! For more twists on this family favorite, try this French Bread Pizza with Sausage and Portobello Mushrooms or this Taco French Bread Pizza.

One thing is for sure – when I find a flavor combination that I love, I go for it. And go for it all the way.

One flavor combination we can’t get enough are the flavors of Hawaiian Pizza. I love that the flavors can be converted to so many other recipes – Hawaiian One Pan Pasta, Hawaiian hot dogs, and even Hawaiian Tacos.

Today, I’m here to share another twist on the Hawaiian pizza. As much as I love traditional pizza, I adore a good French bread pizza. It’s a great alternative when you haven’t made pizza dough, but you are craving those same flavors. I love that French bread pizza comes together so quickly – this recipe should take you less than 30 minutes total.

This is a flavor combination that we loved. It was a great way for me to use up some leftover ham, and this dinner was gone quickly.

Now I just need to figure out what recipe to turn Hawaiian next! 😉

Ingredients

• Pizza Sauce: You can use homemade pizza sauce or store bought.
• BBQ Sauce: You want to make sure you are using a bbq sauce that you love. The flavor will come through.
• French Bread: I use a loaf of French bread from the grocery store for ease. You can always make your own, as well.
• Ham: This is a great way to use leftover ham. But if you don’t have any leftover ham, I like to use a ham steak from the grocery store and dice it into small pieces.
• Bacon: You will want your bacon cooked and crumbled before starting. This is a great way to use up leftover bacon, if you have any.
• Pineapple: I prefer to use fresh pineapple, as I like the flavor and texture better than canned pineapple. But canned pineapple will work, too!
• Cheese: You need a combination of mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese.
• Cilantro: This brings in a fresh element at the end, and I think the flavor of the cilantro really compliments the sweet and salty.

How to Make French Bread Hawaiian Pizza

STEP 1: Combine the pizza sauce and the bbq sauce in a small bowl. Stir to combine.

STEP 2: Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy clean up. Take the French bread and cut it in half lengthwise. Place each half on the baking sheet, cut side up.

STEP 3: Spread the pizza sauce mixture evenly over each side.

STEP 4: Top with the ham. Then add the bacon and pineapple. If needed, you can gently press the toppings in to keep them from falling off.

STEP 5: Top with the mozzarella cheese, then the parmesan cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and the pizza is warmed through.

STEP 6: Once the pizza is baked, top it with the cilantro, then cut into slices. Serve the pizza while it is warm.

Tips and Tricks

You don’t have to use the mixture of pizza sauce and bbq sauce. Feel free to use one or the other, but I love the combination.

When cutting your ham and pineapple, make sure to cut them into small-ish pieces. That way, they are easier to eat.

If you aren’t a fan of pineapple on pizza, you can definitely leave it off!

We like to cut the pizza into smaller slices, but you can also cut each half into thirds for 6 larger pieces.
