Listening to the podcast this week sparked some inspiration for me! Episode 363 on September 19th joked about the idea of a pepperoni fried rice pizza. I decided to take it seriously and I’m so glad I did! Make your own with our recipe!
You will need:
- flour
- sugar
- salt
- water
- active dry yeast
- oil
- imitation crab
- cream cheese
- green onions
- crushed red peppers
- salt and pepper
- rice
- frozen mixed veggies
- 1/4 onion
- mini pepperonis
- 10 oz shredded mozzarella cheese
- wonton wraps
for the crust:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 1/3 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp yeast
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees and grease your pizza pan.
- Put warm water into a large mixing bowl.
- Add sugar and yeast and stir to combine.
- Let mixture sit for 5 minutes, or until it becomes frothy and bubbles form.
- Add oil and stir to combine.
- Add 2 cups of flour and salt and mix with a spatula until a ball begins to form (dough will still be slightly sticky). Add more flour as needed to form a dough ball.
- Transfer to a floured surface and knead into a smooth dough, adding up to ½ cup extra flour if needed.
- Roll out your dough onto your pizza pan.
- Bake on the lower rack of your preheated oven for 5 minutes and remove from your oven.
For the “sauce”
… which is actually crab Rangoon filling.
Ingredients:
- 12 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 chopped green onions
- 8 oz chopped imitation crab
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
mix it all together.
For the fried rice
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/4 chopped onion
- frozen mixed veggies
- soy sauce
- mini pepperonis
Instructions:
- rinse rice then cook in a small pot with water at a simmer until water is fully absorbed. About 10 minutes.
- in a separate skillet warm oil and sauté onions and veggies.
- Add rice and continue to cook on medium for 3 minutes. Add as much soy sauce as you’d like.
- Finally, add pepperoni.
For the pizza:
- Finally, assemble your pizza by putting crab Rangoon filling on the crust, topping with fried rice, then shredded mozzarella cheese and crushed red peppers.
- Bake your pizza at 400 for 10 minutes.
- while your pizza is baking, cut your wonton wraps into strips and fry them in oil in a medium sauce pan until golden brown.
- when pizza is done, top with chopped green onions and won ton strips. Enjoy!
