Crabmeat Pizza Food

CRABMEAT PIZZA

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and oil just to a boil. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch dough down; divide in half. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a 13-in. circle; transfer to two 12-in. pizza pans. Build up edge slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake crusts at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine the cream cheese, crab, milk, feta cheese, basil, oregano and garlic powder; spread mixture over each crust. Sprinkle each with 1/2 cup Swiss cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Cut into wedges.

CRAB PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place pizza dough on a lightly greased pizza pan and press out to 12 inches.
• Evenly distribute alfredo sauce.
• Evenly distribute crab meat.
• Evenly distribute cheddar and motzarella cheeses.
• Top with the Old Bay Seasoning, onions, bacon and mushrooms.
• Bake on the lowest rack for 20-25 minutes.

TORTILLA CRAB PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425F for Pyrex, or 450F for a metal pizza pan.
• Spread olive oil on pizza pan (I use Pyrex!) to prevent the tortilla from sticking to the pan.
• Place flour tortilla onto pizza pan and spread on cream cheese.
• Top with imitation crab meat and onion.
• Lightly sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• Top with swiss and cheddar cheeses.
• Top cheeses with the snipped basil.
• Bake at 425F (Pyrex) or at 450F (metal) for 15 minutes.
• Remove from oven and immediately slide pizza onto a wire rack so the crust doesn't sweat!
• Cool for 10-15 minutes, slide the pizza back onto the pizza pan and cut into 8 pieces, with a pizza cutter.
• Three-four pieces with a green salad is plenty for two-three persons, or as an appetizer for a few folks!
• NOTE: Use whatever cheese mixture you like ~ my photo with the blue background is made with swiss and mozzarella, with the basil underneath where it can't be seen!

SEAFOOD PIZZA

Steps:

• Saute garlic in olive oil for several minutes.
• Add shrimp and crabmeat, mixing well with garlic and olive oil.
• Add parsley.
• Sprinkle 1/2 cup mozzarella on pizza crust.
• Place crab/shrimp mixture on crust.
• Cover with remaining cheeses.
• Bake according to your pizza crust directions (typically, bake pizza until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbling, about 15 minutes).
• Cut and serve with cocktail sauce.

CRAB-ARTICHOKE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a pizza pan.
• Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface to a 14 or 16 inch circle; place onto a pizza pan. Sprinkle dough with red pepper flakes, then top evenly with crab and artichokes. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven until the cheese has melted and the crust is no longer doughy, about 20 minutes. Set oven to broil, and cook pizza for 5 minutes more until the cheese has begun to brown.

CRAB PIZZA DIP

Steps:

• Mix softened cream cheese with dash of Worcestershire Sauce until color approximately matches the color of pizza dough.
• Spread mixture in 8" pie dish to form the pizza crust.
• Top the "crust" with hot dog chili sauce (about 1/2 the can) to make the pizza sauce.
• Next spread the crabmeat on top of the pizza sauce as the "cheese".
• Finally sprinkle lightly with parsley flakes to add a dash of color.
• Serve with crackers or corn chips.
