Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
To make the dough
- Add the lukewarm water to the mixing bowl of a stand mixer. Pour the yeast and sugar into the water and whisk together. Let it sit for about five minutes to activate the yeast.
- Add the flour and salt to the bowl.
- Using the dough hook, work at a slow speed and mix together the ingredients until a dough forms. You may need to add more flour. You don’t want the dough to be too sticky. It should form a small ball. This should take about 5 minutes. It should bounce back slightly when poked.
- Remove the ball from the bowl and let it rest on your counter top while you work on the toppings. Cover it with a clean towel.
- The dough should rest for about ten minutes.
To make the toppings and prepare the pizza
- Preheat a pizza stone in a 450F oven.
- If you haven’t yet, slice up the red onion, red pepper, and chorizo.
- After the dough has set for about ten minutes, divide it into two equal portions. You’re going to want to do two smaller pizzas instead of one large one for a crispy dough.
- Roll each portion into a ball and then stretch it out to be about 10” in diameter. Use the semolina flour on your countertop and hands to help shape the dough.
- Place one pizza crust at a time on the pizza stone in the oven (bake each individually unless you have two pizza stones).
- Brush each pizza with olive oil before placing it in the oven.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the dough forms a dry, outer crust. We are just par-baking the crust here so that the base of the pizza is strong enough to hold all the toppings without getting soggy.
- While the pizza is baking, you can prepare the seafood. Heat a large saute pan on medium high heat. Add the garlic and one teaspoon of olive oil.
- Heat the garlic for about one minute and then add in the shrimp and squid rings. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they are opaque and tender.
- Squeeze one half of the lemon over the seafood, stir together, and turn off the heat. If you are using saffron, now is the time to mix it in with the lemon juice.
- After the pizza crusts have par baked, spread out ¼ cup of the red sauce over each pizza. Spread out the chorizo, half of the onion slices, and the red pepper slices on the dough.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the toppings.
- Put the pizza back into the oven for another 8-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the seafood (half on each pizza) over the pizza. Put the pizza back into the oven for 1-2 minutes.
- Take the pizza out of the oven again and place it on a cutting board. Garnish the pizza with the remaining fresh red onion slices, parsley, green onions, and arugula. Then squeeze a little bit of juice from the other lemon half over everything.
- Drizzle with a small bit of olive oil and then finally, add some fresh shredded parmesan cheese.
- Cut the pizza into slices and serve immediately.
