Pizza with Smoked Salmon
and Caviar
1 8-inch pizza
INGREDIENTS
6 ounces pizza dough (See Recipe, p. 29)
1 tablespoon chile and garlic oil
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons dill cream (See Recipe, p. 25)
2 1/2 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped
1 tablespoon sevruga caviar (optional)
METHOD
1
Place pizza stone on the middle rack of the oven. Set oven on pizza
and turn to max. Let it preheat.
2
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the dough into an 8-
inch circle, with the outer edge a little thicker than the inner circle.
3
Brush the dough with the oil and arrange the onion over the pizza.
Slide the pizza peel under the pizza and then slide the pizza onto
the pizza stone.
4
Bake until the crust is golden brown, 6 - 8 minutes.
5
With the pizza peel or a large spatula, carefully remove the pizza
from the oven and set it on the cutting board. Use a knife, an icing
spatula, or the back of a spoon to spread the dill cream over the
inner circle.
6
Arrange the slices of salmon so that they cover the entire pizza,
slightly overlapping the raised rim. Sprinkle the chopped chives over
the salmon.
7
Using a pizza cutter or a large knife, cut the pizza into 4 or 6
slices. If you like, spoon a little caviar in the center of each slice.
Serve immediately.
