Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
• In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir until a dough forms, then transfer it to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Prepare the Pizza Sauce
• In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
• Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let the sauce cool.
• Assemble and Bake the Pizza
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle.
• Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on each dough circle.
• Top with shrimp, scallops, cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle torn basil leaves on top.
• Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat a pizza stone in the oven before baking the pizza.
• Feel free to add other seafood such as squid or crab meat to the toppings for more variety.
