For the Pizza Dough:
- 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water ( 110°F )
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Topping:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crab meat ( fresh, canned, or imitation )
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Sweet chili sauce for drizzling
- Optional: Wonton strips for extra crunch
Prepare the Dough
In a petite bowl, mingle yeast, sugar, and warm water, allowing it to rest until it froths, approximately 5 minutes.
In a sizable mixing bowl, blend flour and salt, creating a hollow in the middle to pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Blend until a cohesive dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until it achieves a smooth, elastic texture.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size
Prepare the Crab Rangoon Mixture
While the dough is rising, mix the softened cream cheese, crab meat, green onions, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. Make sure everything is well combined and creamy.
Assemble the Pizza
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
After the dough has doubled in size, gently deflate it and roll it out on a floured surface to your preferred thickness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet..
Spread the crab rangoon mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Generously distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza.
Bake to Perfection
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Take the pizza out of the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Finishing Touches
Drizzle sweet chili sauce over the top of the pizza for a sweet and spicy kick.
If you're feeling adventurous, sprinkle some crispy wonton strips on top for extra texture and crunch.
