1ballpizza dough(store bought or your favorite recipe)
Instructions
Place your oven rack on the bottom location, and preheat oven to 450℉.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic and sauté for another minute. Turn off the heat and stir in the clams and parsley. Let cool.
Roll out pizza dough into a circle. Move to a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet or pizza stone. Brush with olive oil and give it a few pricks with a fork. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until the pizza begins to get golden brown (how quickly it browns will be based on how thin you rolled the dough). You really want to check the middle and make sure that is somewhat baked through...because there is nothing worse than soggy, uncooked dough in the middle of a pizza!
Pull out the pizza dough and set it on a heat resistant surface. Use a slotted spoon to add the clam mixture to the top of the partially baked pizza and spread evenly around almost to the edges. Sprinkle on the Parmesan cheese, and finish it off with a few grinds of pepper.
Return to the oven to bake for an additional 7 to 8 minutes, or until the pizza is sufficiently golden on the edges and the dough is cooked through. Remove from the oven, let sit for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
