California Pizza with Smoked Salmon and Dill - United States traditional dish

🧂 재료

1 lb Pizza dough(Store-bought or homemade, at room temperature for easier handling.)
6 oz Smoked salmon(High-quality, thinly sliced.)
1/2 cup Crème fraîche(Full-fat is recommended for best flavor and texture.)
1/4 medium Red onion(Very thinly sliced into half-moons or rings.)

2 tbsp Fresh dill(Chopped, for garnish.)
1 tbsp Olive oil(For brushing the crust.)

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone or steel, place it in the oven while it preheats.
⏱️ 15 minutes
2
On a lightly floured surface, gently stretch or roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape, aiming for a thin crust about 12-14 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or parchment paper.
⏱️ 5 minutes
3
Lightly brush the edges of the pizza dough with olive oil. This will help them crisp up and turn golden brown. Prick the center of the dough a few times with a fork to prevent large bubbles from forming.
⏱️ 2 minutes
4
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone/steel or directly onto the oven rack. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and beginning to puff up. The dough should be set but not fully browned.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes
5
Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread the crème fraîche evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust. Season lightly with black pepper.
⏱️ 3 minutes
6
Arrange the thinly sliced red onion and drained capers over the crème fraîche. Then, artfully drape the slices of smoked salmon on top of the pizza.
⏱️ 3 minutes
7
Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 4-5 minutes, just until the crème fraîche is warm and the salmon is heated through. Be careful not to overcook the salmon, as it can become dry.
⏱️ 4-5 minutes
8
Remove the pizza from the oven. Garnish generously with fresh chopped dill. Slice and serve immediately.
⏱️ 2 minutes
