🥘 Ingredients

13 items

• 1 ball (approximately 12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 5 ounces Fresh goat cheese
• 1 cup (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 4 ounces Smoked salmon
• 2 tablespoons (drained) Capers
• 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

3. Brush the surface of the dough with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Spread the minced garlic evenly over the oiled dough.

4. Scatter the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by small dollops of goat cheese evenly distributed across the pizza.

5. Transfer the prepared dough (on the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

6. While the pizza bakes, prepare the toppings. In a small bowl, toss the arugula with lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

7. Once the pizza is out of the oven, allow it to cool for 2 minutes. Layer the smoked salmon slices across the top, followed by the capers and thinly sliced red onion.

8. Add the dressed arugula to the pizza, sprinkle with fresh dill, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
