Prep Time: 25 Minutes  Cook time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 1 packet Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/2 tsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Fine Sicilian Sea Salt
  • 3/4 cup Warm Water
  • 2 cups Anna TIPO ”00” Flour
  • 1 cup Cut Tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Imported Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Minced Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1 can Mushroom Stems Pieces (4 oz), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Whole Baby Clams (10 oz), drained and rinsed
  • 1 jar Quartered & Marinated Artichoke Hearts (6 oz), drained
  • 1/2 cup Jumbo Pitted Black Olives, drained and halved
  • 1 oz Flat Fillets of Anchovies
  • 5 Whole Garlic Cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
    ​

Directions

  • Mix flour and salt together and add to a mixing bowl.
  • Create a well in the center and pour water into the well.
  • Add the sugar and yeast to the water and mix within water.
  • Gradually mix flour into the water in small increments and as the dough begins to form, take it out of the bowl and continue to work it by hand on a floured surface.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add flour in small increments until the dough no longer sticks to your hands or the kneading surface.
  • Knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes smooth, then place a small amount of extra virgin olive oil on the bottom of a bowl and place the dough into the bowl.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, and leave it out until the dough has completely risen, about 15-20 minutes.
  • To tell if the dough is fully risen, make a small indentation in the center. If the indentation does not rise, the dough is ready.
  • Preheat oven to 450˚F.
  • Press dough into an oiled 12-inch pizza pan.
  • In a small bowl, mix tomatoes, 1 tablespoon oil, 1/8 cup parsley and minced garlic together, then spread over pizza dough.
  • Garnish one quarter of the pizza with mushrooms, one quarter with artichokes, one with olives and anchovies and the last section with clams.
  • Top with whole garlic cloves.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is crisp and golden.
  • Drizzle with remaining oil and top with crushed red pepper and remaining parsley.
