Ingredients

  • Basic Pizza Dough, recipe follows
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 6 ounces goat cheese
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 ounces salmon roe
  • 1/4 cup minced shallots or green onions
  • Fresh sprigs of dill, garnish

Directions

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and set aside.

Remove the dough from the bowl. On a lightly floured surface, knead briefly. Let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out into a rectangle, about 16 by 10 inches, and cut into six squares, about 5 inches each. Lightly brush each square with olive oil, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Bake until starting to turn light golden brown, about 6 minutes. Evenly cover each square with goat cheese and return to the oven until the crust is golden brown and slightly crisp and the cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Cut each square in half diagonally. Arrange smoked salmon on each pieces and top with a dollop of salmon roe. Sprinkle with shallots, garnish with a small sprig of dill, and serve immediately.

Basic Pizza Dough:

1 cup warm (110 degrees F) water

1 (1/4-ounce) envelope active dry yeast

1 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

3 cups bleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl, combine the water, yeast, sugar, and 1 tablespoon oil and stir to combine. Let sit until the mixture is foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and the salt, mixing by hand until it is all incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Continue adding the flour, 1/4 cup at a time, working the dough after each addition, until all the flour is incorporated but the dough is still slightly sticky. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.

Oil a large mixing bowl with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place the dough in the bowl and turn to oil all sides. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set in a warm, draft-free place until nearly doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Use as directed.

    Great party appetizer. I had a lot of prep to do so I bought a ball of dough instead of making my own. I grilled the dough on both sides after rolling nice & thin, topped with the goat cheese (I mixed into the cheese dill & parsley and put it back on the grill for a few more minutes. Then I topped it with smoked salmon slices (purchased pre-sliced from Costco and a sprinkle of dill & olive oil. Looked fantastic and tasted even better. Surprisingly it still tasted great room temp. Didn't have one piece left.
