Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Fresh lump crab meat
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 wedge Lemon wedge (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the pizza dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Ensure it's evenly distributed all over.
In a small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Top the mozzarella with the lump crab meat, spreading it out evenly across the pizza. Avoid clumping to ensure even baking.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the crab meat, followed by the halved cherry tomatoes. Distribute everything evenly for a beautiful presentation.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper over the toppings for added flavor and a little heat.
Carefully slide the pizza (along with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with chopped parsley for freshness.
Slice the pizza and serve immediately. If desired, garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty kick.
