Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
For the Pizza:
-
1 tablespoon flour, if necessary when rolling out the pizza dough
-
1 Homemade or store-bought Pizza Dough (for an 12-inch pizza) Click here for recipe for Homemade Dough
-
olive oil spray
-
16 ounces marinara sauce
For the Toppings:
-
16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ pound fresh backfin crab meat, picked through for shells
-
Handful of marinated artichokes quarters, sliced thin; reserve a little of the marinade to drizzle on the crab meat
-
3 pieces of Sliced Speck
Directions
-
If you are using a charcoal grill, prepare the fire for medium high heat. If you are using a gas grill, turn it on medium high heat.
-
Place a pizza stone on the grates leaving a little space for the Sliced Speck to cook.
-
Make sure the grates are well-seasoned.
-
Prepare the pizza.
-
On floured surface, turn out the pizza dough.
-
Begin rolling out the dough with a floured wooden rolling pin to form a 12-inch circle or four 4-inch squares no thicker than ¼ inch.
-
The crust should be very thin.
-
Lightly spray the pizza pan with the olive oil spray.
-
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza pan.
-
Swirl the marinara sauce around the center of the pizza, leaving a ½-inch bare ring around the outside.
-
Lightly spray the exposed crust with olive oil.
-
Cover the pizza with the shredded cheese, crab meat and artichoke slices.
-
Make sure the crab meat is covered with a little of the artichoke liquid to prevent drying out.
-
Carefully place the pizza on the pizza stone and lay the Sliced Speck directly on the grates.
-
Cook the Sliced Speck for about 4 to 5 minutes per side until it is cooked and slightly crispy.
-
When the bacon is done remove it from the grill and chop it up and place it directly into the pizza (even if it is still cooking).
-
Grill the pizza for 15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is cooked and golden brown.
-
Depending on your grill, this cooking time may vary.
-
When the pizza is done, remove it from the grill and serve immediately.
