Alright, chef! First things first, get your oven preheating to 200°C (fan-forced) or 220°C (regular). You want that oven nice and hot for a crispy base.
Unwrap your pizza bases and lay them on a baking tray. If you've only got one tray, no worries, you can cook them one at a time.
For the sauce: In a small bowl, squeeze out your tomato paste. Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, and a tiny splash of water (about 1-2 tablespoons) if the paste is super thick. Stir it all together until it's a spreadable sauce. Taste it – if it needs a tiny bit more zing, add a pinch more oregano or garlic powder.
Drizzle a tiny bit of olive oil over each pizza base. This helps the base get nice and golden.
Now for the fun bit! Spread your homemade tomato sauce evenly over each pizza base, leaving a little gap around the edge for the crust. Don't go too thick, or it'll make the base soggy.
Time for toppings! Open your ham and tear it into smaller pieces. Scatter the ham over the sauce on both pizzas. Keep fingers tucked in, go slow if you're using a knife for the ham.
Drain the pineapple pieces really well! You don't want soggy pizza. Pat them a bit with paper towel if they're still juicy. Scatter them over the ham.
Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over everything. Mozzarella is what gives you that epic cheese pull, so don't be shy!
Carefully slide the baking tray with your pizzas into the preheated oven. SAFETY WARNING: The oven is hot! Use oven mitts and be careful not to touch the hot racks inside.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, and the crust looks crispy. Keep an eye on them; ovens can be a bit different. Your nose will tell you it's ready!
Once cooked, carefully pull the tray out of the oven. Let the pizzas cool on the tray for 2-3 minutes before trying to slice them. This stops the cheese from sliding off everywhere.
Slice into wedges with a pizza cutter or a big knife (keep fingers tucked in, go slow). Serve immediately and get ready for some serious compliments, mate!
Don't stress about toppings! If you mess up the spread, who cares? It'll all taste great once it's melted and bubbly. The key is a hot oven and not too much sauce.
