Step by step

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, Italian seasoning, parsley, and black pepper. Fold in the crab and shrimp until evenly coated.

2. 2

   Roll the pizza dough into a large rectangle. Spread the seafood mixture evenly over the centre, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the dough over the filling, pinch the seams tightly, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

3. 3

   Brush the top with the beaten egg. Mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley, then brush over the dough. Score a few shallow slits across the top for steam to escape.

4. 4

   Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30– 35 minutes, or until the crust is deep golden brown and crisp. Allow the stromboli to rest for 5– 10 minutes before slicing.

5. 5

   Slice into thick portions and serve with warm Alfredo sauce, marinara, or garlic butter for dipping.
