Tips & Tricks for the Best Cruskit Hawaiian Pizzas
1. Make it Even Crispier 🔥
For extra crunch, toast the Cruskits in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes before adding toppings. This helps prevent them from getting soggy under the sauce.
2. Switch Up the Toppings 🧀🥓
While ham and pineapple are classic, try mixing things up:
Add more protein: Swap ham for shredded chicken or turkey.
Spice it up: Drizzle some sriracha or sprinkle chilli flakes on top.
Go cheesy: Use a mix of light mozzarella and parmesan for extra flavour.
Make it vegetarian: Swap ham for roasted capsicum or mushrooms.
3. No Air Fryer? No Problem! 🍕
If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the Cruskits in a preheated oven at 180°C for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
4. Keep it Fresh 🍍
Using fresh pineapple chunks instead of canned can enhance the flavour while reducing excess moisture. If using canned pineapple, pat it dry with a paper towel before adding it to the Cruskits.
