SERVING SIZE:

2 – 4 people

INGREDIENTS:

PIZZA DOUGH:

• 150g plain flour
• 150g bread (strong) flour
• 200mL warm water
• 3g dry yeast
• 10ml Cobram Estate Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Pinch of sea salt

PIZZA:

• Semolina flour
• 1pkt Coles Beechwood Smoked Trout
• 2tbs baby capers
• ½ bunch of dill
• ½ bunch of chives, chopped into 1cm lengths
• 4 tbsp or to taste, Philadelphia Spreadable Cream Cheese
• 2tbs Seeded mustard
• ½ red onion, finely sliced
• 2tbs Cobram Estate Classic Extra Virgin Olive Oil

METHOD:

TO MAKE DOUGH:

• Put flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and olive oil to water and stir. Pour into flour and combine with hands to make a ball of dough.
• Cover the dough with a tea-towel and leave somewhere warm for half an hour, and dough has doubled in size.
• To prepare dough in advance, instead of leaving dough on bench for 2 hours, you can also cover it and put into fridge for 12 hours.

TO MAKE PIZZA:

• Preheat a fan-forced oven to 250 degrees, with grill on. Place pizza stone or pizza tray into oven to preheat.
• Cover workspace with a pinch of semolina flour and knock out the pizza dough by gently working the dough with fingers so that it stretches out into a pizza base. Use extra semolina flour if needed to stop dough from sticking.
• Cover pizza base with olive oil and onions and put into oven. For 1-3 minutes or until dough has risen.
• Take pizza base out of the oven and spread with cream cheese and mustard. Add more onion over the top, and place back into the oven for a further 1-3 minutes, or until the dough is golden.
• Take pizza out of the oven and top with smoked trout, baby capers, chives and dill fronds. Drizzle olive oil over the top and serve.
