Smoked Salmon And Goat Cheese Pizza Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Brush pizza crust with olive oil.
• Spread goat cheese and diced or crushed garlic on pizza crust.
• (I used a whole garlic clove but I'm a garlic freak).
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 400 or until goat cheese starts to brown.
• Remove pizza from oven.
• Cover pizza with smoked salmon, fresh dill and olives.
• Bake an additional couple of minutes.

Steps:

• Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450°F. Butter 12-inch-diameter pizza pan. Knead dough briefly on floured surface. Sprinkle 1/4 cup dill over and knead dough until dill is well incorporated. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to prepared pan. Build up edges of dough to form rim. Brush dough lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle 1/4 cup dill over, then goat cheese. Top with onion. Bake until cheese melts and crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle smoked salmon, olives and remaining 1/4 cup dill over.

Steps:

• Basic Pizza Dough:.
• 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.
• Pizza Time:
• 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.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mash the goat cheese with a fork. Add the yogurt, and mix together until smooth. Spread half on one slice of bread, and top with the smoked salmon. Slice the cucumbers very thin, and layer them over the salmon. If desired, season the cucumbers with a little salt and pepper, and squeeze on some lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped chives or dill over the cucumbers.
• Spread the remaining goat cheese mixture over the other piece of bread. Place on top of the cucumbers, press down and cut the sandwich in half.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Blend honey and dijon mustards, red onion, capers and dill.
• Arrange bread on baking sheet and lightly brush with olive oil.
• Bake until crisp, about 10 minutes. Cool.
• Spread croutons with goat cheese, then mustard mixture. Top with smoked salmon.
• Garnish with a little more dill.
