Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter when rolled out) Pre-made pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Pesto sauce
- 4 oz Smoked salmon
- 4 oz Goat cheese
- 2 cups Fresh arugula
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 2 tbsp Capers
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 small Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Evenly spread the pesto sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges.
Tear the goat cheese into small chunks and scatter them over the pesto base.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
While the pizza bakes, prepare the toppings: Thinly slice the red onion, rinse the arugula, and slice the lemon into wedges.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 minutes.
Top the pizza with an even layer of fresh arugula, the smoked salmon slices, red onion, and capers.
Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a squeeze of brightness. Enjoy your unique and delicious 'Different Pizza'!
