A playful mash-up of Chinese takeout and pizza night, featuring a creamy garlic base, flaked crab, and crispy golden edges.
Ingredients
Scale
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade), stretched to 10-12 inches
- 225 g (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese
- 2 tbsp (30 g) mayonnaise
- 1 tsp (5 ml) soy sauce
- 170 g (6 oz) flaked crab meat, drained
- 4 stalks scallions, white and green separated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 45 ml (3 tbsp) sweet chili sauce
- 1 tsp (5 ml) sesame oil
- Optional: 1 tsp (2 g) toasted sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 260°C (500°F) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet for at least 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk the cream cheese, mayonnaise, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Heat oil in a skillet and sauté the white parts of the scallions and garlic for 1–2 minutes.
- Fold the sautéed mixture into the crab and cool slightly.
- Stretch the pizza dough into a 10–12 inch round and transfer to parchment.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 1.5 cm rim.
- Sprinkle the crab mixture evenly over the base, then add green scallion tops.
- Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone and bake for 8–12 minutes until golden.
- Broil for 45–60 seconds for extra color, then drizzle with sweet chili sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
For a vegetarian version, replace crab with sautéed king oyster mushrooms. Make-ahead by preparing the cream cheese and crab sauté 24 hours in advance.
