Hi Barb, this is for you
Dough
5 c bread flour
6T olive oil
2 t instant yeast
2 c warm water
1/2 t salt
Method
Place the flour, salt and yeast into the bowl of a heavy duty mixer with the paddle attachment. Blend for one minute. Slowly add the water and oil, mixing for 2 minutes.
Switch to the hook and knead for 5 minutes.
This makes enough for 2 14" pizzas. At this point, I seperate the dough into two balls, and place them on a greased baking sheet, covered, to rise for an hour. After the hour, remove a dough ball, and shape it to your pizza pan. Let it rise again, 1/2 an hour. Repeat with other dough ball.
I usually use my own pomodoro sauce for homemade pizza, but any good quality premade sauce from the grocer will be fine. (or use your own!)
Ladle sauce over the dough, almost to the edge. Don't go too heavy, it will make the crust soggy.
Sprinkle about 2T freshly grated parmigiano cheese over the sauce.
For the fish I used 3/4 c small shrimp (raw) [don't use canned, but frozen is fine as long as it's defrosted] 1/2 fresh or canned chopped clams, and 1/2 c crab claw meat. Scatter this all over the sauce.
3T fresh chopped basil sprinkled over the fish
12 oz grated mozzarella sprinkled over everything.
Bake in a 500 oven for about 15 minutes, but check it often.
Remove it to your pizza pan and let it set one minute before slicing.
Barb, you can use almost any fish you like. Anchovies or mussles or scallops or even lobster is fine. Use whatever you like. Just remember not to go too heavy or the dough won't cook.
Hope you enjoy it.
