Best Ever Seafood Pizza

On Sunday I was on a mission to attempt making a Vegetarian Pizza when Brendan asked me to try making him a Marinara one instead (his snack hunting eye had spied some seafood going in my freezer). I agreed to the challenge and although I hate to admit it, whereas my veggie pizza was yummy his seafood pizza was amazingly divine and won its spot on my blog instead of the vegetarian one as per my original plan.

Ingredients

For the Pizza Dough (makes enough dough for 2 large pizzas)
2 cups Cake Flour
1 tbsp. Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Half a Packet of Yeast
400ml Water
3 tbsp. Olive Oil.

For the Pizza Topping (Makes enough topping for one Pizza)
1 tbsp. Butter
12 Mussels, defrosted and removed from shell
12 Prawns, defrosted, cleaned and shelled
12 Plain Calamari Rings
1 tbsp Ina Paarman's Fish Spice
1 cup Tomato Passatta (or tomato puree)
2 tsp. Chopped Garlic
1 tbsp. Mixed Italian Herb
Salt and Black Pepper
1 tsp. Dried Chili Flakes
1 cup Grated Cheddar Cheese
1 cup Grated Mozzarella Cheese
Half cup Grated Padano / Parmesan

Method

To Make the Pizza Dough

2) In a separate bowl combine the flour and salt and make a well in the centre.
3) Pour the water in the jug into the centre of the flour and combine with a fork.

5) Place the ball in a bowl and cover with clingfilm. Leave in the fridge overnight.
6) Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
7) Divide the dough in half and knead on a lightly floured surface.
8) Roll out the dough till you have a nice thin base and transfer to a lightly floured baking tray.
9) Bake the plain pizza base for 5 minutes

To Prepare the Topping

2) Add all the seafood ingredients to the pan and season well with the fish spice.
3) Leave to simmer on a low heat for ten minutes.
4) In a separate bowl combine the passatta, garlic, herbs, chili, salt and pepper.

To Assemble the Pizza
