Savory Seafood Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• Add toppings to pizza dough and bake in the lowest part of the oven for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until dough is cooked through and golden.
• In a measuring cup, combine water and sugar. Dissolve dry yeast in warm water mixture. Set aside for about 5 minutes, allowing yeast to become active.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour and salt. Make a depression in the flour mixture and add oil and foamy yeast mixture. Mix dough ingredients until they stay together. (Alternatively, place dry ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times. Add oil and yeast mixture and pulse again until dough begins to form a ball.) Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. If the dough appears wet or sticky, add flour, a little at a time, to achieve a smooth consistency.
• Oil the inside of a clean dry bowl. Place the ball of dough in the bowl and roll it around so that it is covered with a layer of oil. Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to rise for about 1 1/2 hours in a warm area free of drafts.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F as you begin to roll out dough.
• After the dough has risen, punch it down and place on a floured surface. Roll out or press out to desired shape and place on hot stone or baking sheet.

Steps:

• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Coat pizza dough with spray and rosemary; place into the bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; lightly dust with cornmeal. Stretch the dough onto the sheet until it covers the bottom and dangles over the edge.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in flour until creamy. Add half-and-half; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add wine, Parmesan cheese, and hot sauce; cook and stir until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; cool until just slightly warm, at least 8 minutes.
• Spread sauce onto the pizza dough to form a thin, even layer. Cover with pieces of crab meat; layer 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, zucchini, mushrooms, and olives on top. Cover with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake pizza in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); bake until golden brown, 25 minutes more.
