Take your bagel with cream cheese, lox and capers; replace the bagel with a crispy, chewy golden pizza crust. Add some lemon zest and olive oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Flatbread or Pizza Dough
  • Olive Oil, plus more for garnish
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/4 Red Onion, sliced thinly
  • 4 oz. Smoked Salmon or Lox
  • Capers
  • Lemon Zest
  • Parsley, chopped fine for garnish

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with a pizza steel or stone.

2

Roll or spread out the dough on a lightly floured pizza peel and brush the whole dough with olive oil. Slide the dough onto the preheated steel or stone and bake for about 15 minutes.

3

Keep a watch on the dough, if any big bubbles develop, you can deflate them with a sharp knife. Pull the dough when it's golden on top and bottom. Then, shut off the oven; we will use the radiant heat to warm the cream cheese and take the raw edge off the onion.

4

Leave the baked dough on the peel and spread the softened cream cheese over the dough, leaving a border for the crust. Then top the cream cheese with the thin red onion slices.

5

Slide the cream cheese and onion-topped pizza back into the still-hot oven, on the stone or steel for about 5 minutes.

6

After its 5 minutes in the still-warm oven, pull the pizza and lay the smoked salmon slices evenly on top of the pizza. If you're using thinner lox, you can crumple the slices a little for added texture and nice presentation.

7

Garnish the Smoked Salmon Pizza with capers, lemon zest and finely chopped parsley. Finishing it off with a good drizzle of olive oil.
