Savory Seafood Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    cooking spray
    1 (10 ounce) package refrigerated pizza dough
    3 tablespoons crushed dried rosemary
    2 teaspoons cornmeal for dusting
    1 teaspoon butter
    1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup half-and-half
    1/4 cup white cooking wine
    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
    hot sauce
    12 ounces imitation crabmeat, flaked
    2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/2 cup shredded zucchini
    1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
    10 pitted black olives, halved
Preparation
    Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Coat pizza dough with spray and rosemary; place into the bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
    Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray; lightly dust with cornmeal. Stretch the dough onto the sheet until it covers the bottom and dangles over the edge.
    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
    Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in flour until creamy. Add half-and-half; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Add wine, Parmesan cheese, and hot sauce; cook and stir until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes. Remove sauce from heat; cool until just slightly warm, at least 8 minutes.
    Spread sauce onto the pizza dough to form a thin, even layer. Cover with pieces of crab meat; layer 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, zucchini, mushrooms, and olives on top. Cover with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
    Bake pizza in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C); bake until golden brown, 25 minutes more.
