Underwater Pizza
- Olive oil, for grilling
- 1 medium squid, cleaned
- 8 medium shrimp, cleaned and shelled
- 7 ounces prepared pizza dough
- All-purpose flour, for rolling
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese
- 6 medium sea scallops, sliced in 1/2 horizontally
- 12 small clams
- 6 oil-packed anchovies, reserve the oil
- 1/2 pound fresh mozzarella
- 4 baby bok choy, thinly sliced
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Heat a grill pan over high heat.
- Lightly brush the grill with oil and cook the squid and shrimp until just cooked through, about 1 minute.
- Cut the squid into pieces and set aside with the shrimp.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred shape.
- I like to pull it out like an elongated oval, but you can make an octagon if you are feeling clever.
- Place it onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Spread the tomato sauce on the dough working from the center outward.
- Liberally cover the whole mess with the grated Gruyere.
- Arrange your seafood as you like it.
- Stand the clams upright on the pizza so that when they open in the oven, the "liquor" inside stays mainly in the shell.
- Roughly tear the fresh mozzarella and place that among the sea critters.
- Drizzle a little of the oil from the anchovies over the whole pizza.
- Pop the pizza into the oven and cook until the cheese has melted but is not brown, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Scatter the bok choy over the pizza and cook until the pizza is brown and crisp and the bok choy is wilted.
- You don't want the bok choy to dry out.
