Method

  1. 1

    Heat. Set the oven to 260 °C with a pizza stone inside; allow 30 minutes for the stone to reach temperature.

  2. 2

    Prepare. Cut the 100 g smoked salmon into 5 cm squares and keep chilled until needed.

  3. 3

    Divide and shape. Cut the 450 g dough into 4 equal pieces; roll or stretch each to a 20 cm circle and place either on a floured peel (if using a stone) or on oiled, floured baking trays.

  4. 4

    Season. Brush each base with a quarter of the 60 ml oil, stopping about 2.5 cm from the edge, then scatter the ½ thinly sliced red onion evenly.

  5. 5

    Bake. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden and firm.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile. Stir the 4 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill into 80 g soured cream or crème fraîche, season with ¼ tsp ground black pepper.

  7. 7

    Finish. Place each warm base on a warm serving plate, spread the dill cream across the surface, arrange the cold salmon squares on top, garnish each with a small dill sprig and serve immediately.

Storage

Best eaten straight away; keep the salmon chilled until serving and eat any leftovers within 1 day. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
