Steps of Pizza Dough

(1) Weight all ingredients well

(2) Place Strong Flour, Plain Flour, Granulated Sugar and Salt into a big bowl. And then, stir a while.
(Selena’s Kitchen Talk: The use of yeast varies due to different manufacturers. Check the instructions.)
(3) Add yeast into the mixture. Mix it.

(4) Then, 180 ml milk into the bowl as well. Stir and mix into well until there is no flour.

(5) Move the dough ball into a lightly floured work space. Knead the olive oil into the dough
(6) Add the rest of 30ml milk into the dough gradually during the kneading. The dough should be kneaded into smooth and elastic dough.
(7) Shape the dough into a ball. Move it back to the lightly greased bowl. And brush some watch or milk on the surface of the dough ball. Wait around 1~2 hours until it doubles the size.

 

Steps of Salmon Fillings

(1) Prepare a fried pan. Add some oil into the pan. Fried the half of salmon (60 g) until it is Medium-Well. Chop it into small pieces and then drizzle 1 tea spoon salt over the salmon. Stir it well

Steps of Assembly

(1) Half the dough. Roll it into a round shape. Spread 25 ml pesto sauce on the top.

(2) Place half of chopped onion, 1 ea chopped mushroom and chopped salmon over the top
(3) Drizzle 30~35 g pizza over the top
(4) Brush some water around the side. Send the pizza into the pre-heated oven at 200C/392F. Bake it around 30~35 minutes until the side turns golden and crispy.

 

Of course… Serve in HOT. The taste of pesto pizza is very different. Not like tomato or BBQ sauce as base, the taste is stronger than tomato or BBQ sauce. So, pesto is not used to moisturize the dough only. You can really taste pesto at every bite. I’ll share how to bake Pesto Salmon Roll tomorrow. Enjoy it.
