Ham Mac and Cheese Pizza

Carolyn makes awesome macaroni and cheese, which is great alongside a nice “on sale” ham. Personally, I like stewed tomatoes on top, kind of old school I guess! We like to add Mac and Cheese leftovers to our “classic” Napoli style pizza, along with fresh spinach and mushrooms.

Ingredients:
12 oz pizza dough homemade (Basics Section) or store bought
12 oz peeled San Marzano tomatoes lightly crushed
6-8 oz leftover mac and cheese
5 oz left over ham pieces
2 good handfuls fresh baby spinach
4 oz mushrooms sliced
2 tbsp good olive oil
Semolina flour for dusting

Make the dough or use store bought, about 12 ounces is required for a 13-inch pizza. Roll out the dough, then place on a peel sprinkled with semolina. Heat oven to 450 °F and allow pizza steel (or stone) to heat for at least 30 minutes, while preparing the pizza.
Spread the San Marzano tomatoes around the crust to cover, then add the spinach, followed by the mushrooms, and finally drop on the mac and cheese and ham pieces. Place on pizza steel (or stone) and bake for about 12-14 minutes, turning 90 degrees a couple times as it cooks, until the top of the cheese begins to brown.
Once browned remove from the oven and allow to sit for several minutes, drizzle on the olive oil, cut into pieces and serve.
