Ingredients

For the Pizza Crust

  • 2¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • ¼ Oz. Pizza Yeast
  • 1½ Teaspoons Sugar
  • ¾ Teaspoon Salt
  • ⅔ Cup Warm Water
  • 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

For the Pizza

  • (1) 8 Ounce Package Cream Cheese Softened
  • ⅓ Cup Mayonnaise
  • ¼ Cup Sour Cream
  • ½ Cup Crab Meat Shredded (Divided)
  • 1 Cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded (Divided)
  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese Shredded (Divided)
  • 1 ¼ Teaspoons Lemon Juice Freshly Squeezed
  • 2 Garlic Cloves Minced
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Green Onion chopped
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons Chives Chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and Pepper To Taste
  • 4-5 Wonton Wrappers Cut Into Thin Strips
  • Sweet Chili Sauce For Garnish

Instructions

For the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt together. Add warm water and oil. Mix for 1-2 minutes.
  • Knead on a floured surface with greased hands for 4-6 minutes or until dough no longer sticks to your fingers.
  • Press or roll into a circle.

For the Pizza

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the wonton wraps in small thin strips. Place on baking sheet, and spray with non stick cooking spray. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Turn oven up to 450 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, ¼ cup of crab meat, ¼ cup of mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup of parmesan cheese, lemon juice, garlic, chives, Worcestershire sauce, and salt/pepper.
  • Evenly spread mixture onto the top of pizza crust. Top with remaining crab meat and cheese.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 14-16 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Top with wonton strips and drizzle with sweet chili sauce.

Notes

Ingredient Notes/Shopping Tips
    • Pizza Yeast: Look for pizza yeast in the baking aisle.
    • Wonton Wrappers: Look for them in the produce section near the tofu.
    • You can also buy premade strips near the croutons, and they taste almost as good.
    • Crab: I think imitation crab is best for this pizza as it's what tastes most like the rangoons I get when ordering takeout.
    • However, my boyfriend, who hails from the South Carolina coast, prefers canned Jumbo Lump Crabmeat.
    • Cream Cheese: Quickly soften cream cheese by cutting it into smaller pieces and letting it sit at room temperature.
    • Lemon Juice: Use freshly squeezed lemon juice to really bring out the crab flavor.

Krystle's Tips
  1. Avoid Sticky Hands: Use nonstick cooking spray on your hands when kneading the dough. Also, be sure your workstation is lightly dusted with flour.
  2. Working With Yeast: Use warm (not hot) water. It should feel like bath water. Also, don't leave out the sugar, as this will help the yeast activate more quickly.
  3. Crispy Crust: Use a pizza stone for the crispiest crust. Don't have one? Bake your pizza on a preheated baking sheet for a similar effect.
