Pizza al Granchio
Pizza al Granchio is a specialty of Italian coastal cuisine, based on fresh seafood. The intense, salty flavour of shellfish harmonizes perfectly with fresh lemon and spicy parsley. On a warm summer evening, when you want to recreate the seaside atmosphere at home, this pizza is the perfect choice. The combination of crispy dough, melted mozzarella and fresh crab meat provides a light yet rich flavour experience. If you want an even richer taste, try sprinkling it with a little chili flakes!

Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour.
3
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the grated mozzarella.
6
Mince the garlic and sprinkle it over the pizza. Distribute the cooked crab meat evenly over the cheese.
7
Season with freshly ground black pepper and a little chopped parsley for a more intense flavor.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the crust is crisp.
9
Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top to enhance the fresh, marine flavors, and serve hot, garnished with parsley.
