"Guests will know you fussed when they bite into a wedge of this rich, golden pizza with a made-from-scratch crust. Cream cheese, crabmeat and herbs make up the yummy topping."

DIRECTIONS
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and oil to 120 degrees F-130 degrees F. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down; divide in half. On a floured surface, roll each piece into a 13-in. circle; transfer to two 12-in. pizza pans. Build up edge slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake crusts at 450 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Combine the cream cheese, crab, milk, feta cheese, basil, oregano, and garlic powder; spread mixture over each crust. Sprinkle each with 1/2 cup Swiss cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Cut into wedges.

This is delicious! I changed it up a little bit to save some time... I started with two tubes of refrigerated pizza dough (one on top of the other) and pressed it out to fill a cookie sheet. I baked it until it was slightly browned, then went back and baked it longer once I had added the topping. I used a package of imitation crab and a package of imitation lobster (neither canned) in place of all crab. I added a little more of each seasoning than the recipe called for. I think shrimp would also be a nice addition. I did not use the entire cream cheese mixture on the pizza - I would probably scale back on this next time. The pizza tastes best right out of the oven...I served it at a pot luck dinner and the taste wasn't nearly as good as it cooled. I reheated it this week in the toaster oven and it was good leftover. I will definitely make this again.

I had high hopes for this one and it was pretty disappointing. I made a few changes (like using different cheeses) as well as using a ready made crust, but those changes didn't detract from the recipe. I am giving it three stars because the cream cheese is just too thick, it seems like there should be something else besides the cream cheese. It's thick, chunky and over all way too rich. This seemed good but unless some variation is made to the sauce (like maybe mixing in some ragu alfredo to take away from the richness and chunkiness)it isn't that good. I don't know what exactly but it needs something else.
