Crabby Pizza

Story time! I love pizza and when I saw the pizza dough at Trader Joes, I just knew that i had to make pizza tonight. If you have read one of my previous posts, you would also know that I love Feta cheese. Now, my mom wanted crab on the pizza and I wanted Feta so I decided to make it a challenge to have both! We just picked up some whole wheat crust and ingredients, I made the creation below, and we feasted! Yummy and filling!

















Feeds 2-3 people

Ingredients 
1/3 cup Mexican Cheese
1/3 cup Feta cheese
1/2 cup "Real Crab Meat"
16 oz whole wheat pizza dough
1/3 cup pizza sauce
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dried onion
flour for rolling
1 tsp olive oil

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and oil your baking dish.

First, take the pizza dough and roll it out to about 12 in diameter on a floured surface.  Then, take about 1/4 cup of feta and delicately place it one piece at a time around the pizza. Fold the dough over the feta cheese and press down making sure it is secure.
Now, lather the pizza sauce over the dough making sure to cover it completely. Then throw on the crab meat making sure there is no blank space! Sprinkle the pizza with the onion and garlic powder. Finally, sprinkle the Mexican cheese over the pizza and sprinkle the rest of the Feta.

Cook the pizza for 10-15 minutes or until the bottom of the pizza is golden brown.

Authors note: I used a toaster oven which worked great! However, on the package for the dough it did say to put the pizza into a regular oven at 425 degrees and to cook it for 6-8 minutes. However, in the toaster oven it DID take longer.

Roll the dough

Add the feta and tomato sauce

This is what it should look like after the crust has been folded and the crab, Mexican cheese and Feta are on there

ENJOY

Feta stuffed crusted pizza

You know that feeling when you want pizza SO BAD! Well I had that feeling today but I also wanted to be somewhat healthy and to get rid of some hamburger meat that I had laying around. So I ran to the store, grabbed some vegetables and other pizza ingredients  and was ready to cook! I personally really like lots of stuff on my pizza because it brings out lots of flavors. However, you can really add what ever you want onto the pizza. I also tried adding feta cheese, green and yellow peppers into the crust which was DELICIOUS! I always liked stuffed crusts but adding the feta, green, and yellow pepper seemed a tad bit different than Dominoes or Papa Johns pizza. I hope you enjoy this recipe! Stay posted for more delicious dishes!

Ingredients

16 oz can pizza sauce

1 green pepper (1 more if you want to make the stuffed crust)

1 yellow pepper (1 more if you want to make the stuffed crust)

1 onion

1 can black olives

Hamburger meat

1 8 oz box Feta cheese

1 cup grated cheddar cheese 

Whole wheat pizza dough

Flour

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then Dice the green and yellow pepper and the onion. Cook the hamburger meat until thoroughly cooked (about 10-15 minutes). Make sure that the hamburger meat is broken up into small pieces to make it easier to put onto the pizza. 

After you have done that, grab the pizza dough and place it on a floured surface. Then stretch out the dough until it is about 12 in diameter. Place the pizza dough onto a non-stick cookie sheet or pizza stone. Once on the baking sheet, make the crust by flipping the edges around. 

Then grab the pizza sauce and lather it onto the dough until almost the whole pizza is covered (but leave room for the crust!). Then sprinkle the cheddar cheese until the whole pizza has a think layer of cheese.

Grab the green peppers, yellow peppers, olives, hamburger meat and onion and distribute.  Finally, add feta cheese to taste around the whole pizza. 

Place in oven for 40-50 minutes until golden brown. 

Side note: I tried adding feta cheese, green and yellow peppers into the crust which tasted delicious! All you have to do is place a piece of feta around the edge of the whole pizza and then turn the dough over the cheese as you would when making a regular crust. It does take some extra time but it is definitely worth it!
