Directions
- Prepare the pizza dough:
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit 5–10 minutes until foamy. - Mix the dough:
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. - Knead and rise:
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. - Cook the crawfish:
Toss crawfish tails with olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook crawfish 2–3 minutes until just cooked. Set aside. - Preheat the oven:
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat. - Assemble the pizza:
Punch down the dough and roll out into a 12–14 inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a pizza pan or preheated stone. Spread sauce evenly, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle half the mozzarella over the sauce. Layer crawfish and red onions, then top with remaining cheese and oregano. - Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. - Serve:
Remove from oven and cool 2–3 minutes. Garnish with parsley or green onions. Slice and serve hot.
