Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (store-bought or homemade, about 12-inch size) pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 ounces, softened cream cheese
- 1 cup, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces, thinly sliced smoked salmon
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 2 tablespoons, drained capers
- 0.5 whole, juiced lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
3. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, making sure to coat the edges for a golden crust.

7. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
8. Arrange the smoked salmon slices evenly across the top of the pizza.
9. Distribute the red onion slices, chopped dill, and capers over the salmon.
