Frank Pepe Pizzerias Garlicky White Clam Apizza Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. Place a pizza stone or inverted rimmed baking sheet on the bottom rack.
• Mix the garlic and 1/4 cup olive oil in a small bowl. Knead the dough about 6 times on a lightly floured surface. Roll and stretch into a 12-inch round. Place the dough on a pizza peel, or another inverted baking sheet, dusted with cornmeal.
• Brush half of the garlic-oil over the dough; season with salt. Scatter the mozzarella and clams over the crust; drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the reserved clam juice and the remaining garlic-oil. Sprinkle with the oregano, parmesan, and salt to taste. Slip the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet (the cornmeal will help it slide off). Bake until the crust is light brown, 13 to 15 minutes.
• Just before the pizza is done, drizzle the arugula with olive oil and lemon juice. Slice the pizza; top each piece with arugula and season with red pepper flakes, if desired.

Steps:

• One hour before baking, place a pizza stone or baking sheet on rack in top third of oven. Preheat oven to 500°F.
• On a lightly floured work surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to shape dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to a pizza peel or upside-down baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Top with cheese, clams, garlic and oregano. Slide onto preheated baking stone. Bake 8-10 minutes or until crust is browned. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with parsley and/or red pepper flakes, if desired.
