Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, approximately 10-12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon, chopped Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.25 small, thinly sliced Red onion
- 1 cup Arugula
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (for rolling out the dough) All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 10-12 inch circle. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the rolled-out dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Carefully slide the dough (on the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza dough for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and slightly crispy. Remove it from the oven and set it aside to cool slightly for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, fresh dill, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the smoked salmon slices on top of the cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle the capers and sliced red onion evenly over the pizza.
In a separate small bowl, toss the arugula with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a pinch of black pepper. Distribute the arugula over the pizza as the final topping.
Slice the pizza into 6-8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
