For hearty slices, take your favorite seafood and place them right smack on top of the dough.
Ingredients:
100 grams clams,
in their shells
100 grams mussels,
in their shells
50 grams squid,
cut into thin strips
1 1/4 cups water, for cooking
1 pizza dough recipe
3/4 cup whole canned tomatoes,
crushed by hand and
drained thoroughly in a colander
1/2 teaspoon ground chili pepper
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
a handful of chopped fresh flat parsley
50 grams peeled and cooked prawns,
preferably with the shell left on the tails
if you wish to eat with your hands
6 to 7 pieces unpeeled cooked prawns
salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
1 Rinse the clams and mussels carefully under running water to remove any sand. Remove any clams or mussels with broken shells and check that they are all closed. Tap gently on the sink any clams or mussels that are not closed—if they close up, they can be used. Scrape the shells of the mussels clean with a small knife and remove any beards.
2 Quickly boil the clams, mussels, and squid in water, with a pinch of salt, about 1 to 2 minutes. Throw away any clams, mussels, and squid that do not open. Drain.
3 Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle or any desired shape. Spread the tomatoes evenly over the dough, leaving the edge (about 3/4-inch) free of toppings. Sprinkle the chili pepper, chopped garlic, and half the parsley over the tomatoes. Then spread the clams, mussels, squid, and both the peeled and unpeeled prawns. Sprinkle over the rest of the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil.
4 Bake in the center of the oven (preheated at 5ooºF for 30 minutes before baking) for 10 to 15 minutes, or just until crispy.
