A delightful pizza recipe featuring a zesty lemon flavor and succulent prawns, perfect for a unique and flavorful meal.
Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and warm water, stirring until the mixture forms a dough.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, then place it in an oiled bowl, covering it to rest for 20 minutes.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the dough from drying out.
Mix the ranch dressing with the lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the lemon zest flavor.
Place the prawns in a zip-lock bag, add olive oil, and toss to coat. Add the parmesan cheese and toss again to coat evenly.
Ensure the prawns are evenly coated for consistent flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Punch down the dough and shape it into a circle on a pizza stone. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
Use your hands to gently stretch the dough into shape.
Pre-bake the pizza crust for 8 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
Pre-baking ensures a crispy crust that holds the toppings well.
Spread the lemon ranch sauce over the crust, arrange the prawns evenly, and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Distribute the toppings evenly for balanced flavors.
Drizzle the pizza with olive oil and lemon juice, then bake for 9 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Keep an eye on the pizza to avoid overcooking.
Garnish the pizza with fresh chives before serving.
Chop the chives finely for a delicate garnish.
