CONNECTICUT WHITE CLAM PIZZA🐚🍕 for the dough// (makes one large pizza or divide into 2 small or 4 personal pizzas) 1.5 cups warm water 1.5 tbsp dry active yeast 2 tsp granulated sugar 1/4 cup evoo 4 cups flour 1 tsp salt for the clam sauce// 2 tbsp butter 1 sweet onion, finely chopped 5 cloves minced garlic 2/3 cup white wine or white wine vinegar — I use Prosecco vinegar 2/3 cup clam juice 1 cup heavy cream 1 can chopped clams 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese + more for pizza topping pizza topping: mozzarella, Parmesan & fresh parsley prepare the dough: combine warm water, sugar and yeast in a large bowl. Mix to combine and let proof for about 5 mins, until foamy. Add salt and flour and stir until a dough begins to form. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for 5-10 mins to form your dough ball. Add more flour if too sticky. Transfer to a bowl coated in olive oil and cover with towel or plastic wrap and let it rise on the countertop for 1 hr. make the clam sauce: while the dough rises, heat a medium saucepan on medium heat and melt butter. Once frothy, add onions and cook until translucent, about 5 mins. Add minced garlic, pepper & cook for a few more minutes. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and add clam juice. Allow it to simmer and reduce by half. About 10 mins. Whisk in heavy cream, clams & Parmesan. assemble your pizza: preheat oven to 450 F. Prepare pizza dough on the baking stone/ tray you plan to bake it on, dusted with cornmeal. Roll and stretch out your dough to form a pizza. Ladle on the clam sauce and spread up to the edges. Add mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown and bubbly. I like to top with fresh parsley, red pepper flakes and a drizzle of honey🍯 Enjoy! xo Hailey💛
