Squid pizza is a must for all seafood lovers. It turns out to be incredibly tasty and tender. Preparing such a pizza is within the power of both an experienced chef and a beginner.
Ingredients:
- ready-made dough for baking pizza - 1 pack (you can make it yourself, any recipe will do);
- 70 g tomato sauce;
- 200-250 g squid;
- 200 g of cheese (preferably mozzarella);
- ground black pepper and salt;
- fresh herbs;
- lemon juice;
- seasonings;
- olives.
Preparation:
- First you need to prepare seafood. Put a saucepan with water on a hot stove, into which you need to pour a little salt. After it boils, dip the previously washed squid into it. They will need to be removed from the pan after 2-3 minutes (the time is counted after boiling water with squid).
- After that, you need to grind the cheese with a coarse grater. Then you need to chop greens (for example, green onions) with a sharp knife. Chop the olives finely (if you want, you can exclude this ingredient altogether).
- Then grease the baking dish with a little vegetable oil. The dough rolled into a thin layer is laid on it (the shape can be either rectangular or round). The dough is coated with tomato sauce. You can use either store-bought sauce or cooked yourself (in extreme cases, tomato ketchup is suitable).
- Then you need to cut the squid into small pieces and spread them evenly over the surface of the pizza. The same must be done with olives. If you wish, you can add shrimp or other seafood that you like best.
- Top the seafood with a small amount of freshly squeezed lemon juice and sprinkle with finely chopped herbs. You can also use any other spices you like.
- The pizza is sprinkled with cheese and sent to the oven, preheated. By the way, if you want the cheese crust to be softer and more viscous, then the cheese is added only 5 minutes before the pizza is ready.
