Pizza!

Delicious Crab Pizza with homemade pizza dough (dough can also be used for breadsticks!)


Pizza Dough Ingredients
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon basil, dried
3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoon active dry yeast, or 1 packet
1 tablespoon butter, melted
Mix yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until foam appears on top. Mix all dry ingredients. Add yeast water, oil and butter to dry mixture and mix well. Once all ingredients combined, lightly flour surface and knead dough until smooth. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Set aside in a warm area until doubled its size. 

Toppings:
Crab
Parmesan shredded cheese
Italian cheese
chopped garlic or sliced (A LOT)
Basil chopped or dried
Artichoke hearts, sliced thinly
1/2 cup melted butter
Cornmeal for pan

Once pizza dough is doubled, separate into 2 balls. Roll each ball out until pizza shape is formed. You can also do mini pizzas (what I love doing with the girls & have the kids make their own).Sprinkle cornmeal on your pizza pan and place your rolled out dough. Pour melted butter on top. Sprinkle a lot of garlic all over. Sprinkle crab and artichoke hearts. Lastly sprinkle your basil and both cheeses. Bake in the oven at 325 until golden brown crust and cheese is all melted, about 20-25 minutes depending on your oven.
