Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Pizza dough
- 200 grams Cooked crab meat
- 200 grams Cooked prawn meat
- 100 grams Cream cheese
- 150 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
- 120 milliliters Mayonnaise
- 60 milliliters Buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon Chopped fresh dill
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into 4 equal portions, and roll each portion out into a round disc, approximately 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, prawn meat, cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the seafood filling.
Place an equal amount of the seafood mixture onto one half of each dough disc, leaving a 1.5 cm (0.5 inch) border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a semicircle. Press the edges together firmly, then crimp them with a fork to seal the calzone.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush this mixture over the top of each calzone to give them a golden, glossy finish when baked.
Place the calzones onto the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the calzones are baking, prepare the ranch dip by whisking together the mayonnaise, buttermilk, ranch seasoning mix, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Chill until serving.
Remove the calzones from the oven and let them cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve the warm crab and prawn calzones with the ranch dip on the side. Enjoy!
