What if I tell you that you can make mini pizzas without fuss? It’s the summer holiday
season and we all need inspiration for a quick and easy meal. The secret is Dole
pineapples in collaboration with the Kiwi classic – Golden Crumpets. I got the chance to
develop this recipe to make our summer nights easy and fun. We all know that crumpets
can be a lifesaver when it comes to feeding hungry bellies. It’s so easy just to pop them in
the toaster. Save that sweet pineapple juice for a glaze on the bacon – it makes the pizzas
that much better!
The summer season means beautifully sweet pineapples. Dole pineapples have been a
repeat on my shopping list. Pineapples on pizzas give it the perfect summer touch. Plus,
you might be able to convince your kids to eat more fruit!
The best part of this recipe is that you can use up all your leftover fridge ingredients for the
pizza. Just make sure you cook down ingredients like mushrooms to remove extra
moisture. I paired mine with capsicum, sweet corn and mushroom for an extra pop of colour
on the pizzas. And who can resist a serving of bacon on top?
You can even get your kids involved to make their own mini pizzas. It only takes 4-5 min to
cook in the oven. You’ll have perfect pizzas with fun stretchy cheese in each bite.
Give this Dole x Golden Crumpet recipe a go at home this summer. It’s guaranteed to be an
easy crowd-pleaser!
