  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 lb peeled crawfish tails fresh or packaged form the grocery (LOUISIANA preferred)
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3/4 cup Pepper Jack Cheese shredded from the block (melts better)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 1 tbsp granulated garlic
  • 2 tubes of thin crust pizza dough
  • 1 egg white egg wash

MAKING THE FOOTBALL:

  • Either using a printed out football template or free hand
  • Roll out your pizza dough on parchment paper sprinkled with flour. Roll it to thin it out a little. Cut 2 football shapes with a pizza cutter
  • Add your crawfish mix on on dough, and fold over the second half on top and peel off the parchment paper.
  • With your pizza cutter, leave a space on both ends and cut slits down the middle on both sides, leaving the middle intact
  • Take each section and twist. Brush the top with your egg wash
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown
  • Cut your string cheese into lengthwise strips to make the sticking on top.
  • Brush with your butter mixture and serve!
