Tamer's Crab Marinara Pizza
Samer
We tried a Crab Pizza at Benjy’s once and it was incredible. We hope this one is as good...
ingredients
- For the Pizza:
- 1 tablespoon flour, if necessary when rolling out the pizza dough
- 1 store-bought Pizza Dough (for an 12-inch pizza)
- olive oil spray
- 16 ounces Crab marinara sauce
- Optional: a handful sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
- For the Toppings:
- 1/2 pound fresh backfin crabmeat, picked through for shells
- 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
- 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

2. On floured surface, turn out the pizza dough. Begin rolling out the dough with a floured wooden rolling pin to form a 12-inch circle or square no thicker than 1/4 inch. The crust should be very thin. Lightly spray the pizza pan with the olive oil spray. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza pan. Swirl the marinara sauce around the center of the pizza, leaving a 1/2-inch bare ring around the outside. Sprinkle the sauce with the optional sundried tomatoes. Lightly spray the exposed crust with olive oil. Set aside.

3. Prepare the toppings. In a medium bowl combine the crabmeat, cream cheese, mozzarella, and roasted garlic and mix until well blended.

Cover the pizza with the cheese mixture, dropping little clumps over the sauce.

4 Carefully place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is cooked and golden brown. Depending on your oven, this cooking time may vary. When the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and serve immediately.
