Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 4 oz smoked salmon
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • ½ small red onion
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 475°F. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to about 12 inches round, then transfer to a baking sheet.

  2. 2

    Brush the dough with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with 1 cup shredded mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  3. 3

    While the crust bakes, thinly slice the 0.5 small red onion and chop the 2 tbsp fresh dill. In a small bowl, soften the 4 oz cream cheese in the microwave for 15 seconds until spreadable.

  4. 4

    Remove the hot pizza from the oven. Immediately scatter the sliced red onion over the melted cheese, then tear the 4 oz smoked salmon into pieces and arrange on top.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the softened cream cheese over the pizza in a zigzag pattern. Sprinkle with the chopped dill and 0.25 tsp black pepper. Slice and serve warm.

  6. 6

    For extra flavor, add capers or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving if you have them.
