Number Of Ingredients 14

FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH:
2 1/2 c flour
1 portion dry yeast
3/4 c warm water
1 tsp each, salt and sugar
FOR THE FRUTTI DI MARE TOPPING:
1 1/2 c grated mozzarella
14 raw shrimp, sliced lengthwise to half
4 oz calamari rings
20 steamed mussels, out of the shell, (or use canned smoked mussels)
4 anchovy fillets
1 c pizza sauce or marinara sauce,
dried oregano and basil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Mix together the yeast and warm water and let it bloom for 10 minutes. Place the flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl or food processor, pour in the yeast and knead until you have smooth dough. Cover the dough with cling wrap and leave it in a warm place for 20-30 minutes to proof. Sprinkle your kitchen counter with whole wheat flour and roll the dough. Grease a pizza pan with little oil and place the pizza dough on it. Spread the pizza sauce and apply the toppings and the cheese. Cook the seafood pizza in a preheated oven at medium-high until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is cooked. Cooking tip: Brush some garlic flavored oil over the pizza dough before you spread the pizza sauce and you will notice the difference by yourself.
