Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 inches in diameter when rolled out) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 200 grams Fresh crab meat (picked over for shells)
- 150 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 150 grams Cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 100 grams Rocket (arugula) leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) or as high as it will go. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the surface of the dough evenly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic over the top.
Distribute the crab meat, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese evenly across the dough. Scatter the halved cherry tomatoes on top, cut side up.
Sprinkle red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper over the pizza as per your taste preference.
Carefully transfer the pizza (using the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
While the pizza bakes, prepare the rocket salad. In a mixing bowl, toss the rocket leaves with the lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 1-2 minutes. Top the pizza with the dressed rocket salad just before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Crispy Crab Pizza with Rocket Salad Topping.
