Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Pizza Bites
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
