Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter when rolled out) Pre-made pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Pesto sauce
• 4 oz Smoked salmon
• 4 oz Goat cheese
• 2 cups Fresh arugula
• 0.25 small, thinly sliced Red onion
• 2 tbsp Capers
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 small Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer it onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

Evenly spread the pesto sauce over the pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges.

Step 4

Tear the goat cheese into small chunks and scatter them over the pesto base.

Step 5

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 6

While the pizza bakes, prepare the toppings: Thinly slice the red onion, rinse the arugula, and slice the lemon into wedges.

Step 7

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2 minutes.

Step 8

Top the pizza with an even layer of fresh arugula, the smoked salmon slices, red onion, and capers.

Step 9

Drizzle olive oil over the top, then sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a squeeze of brightness. Enjoy your unique and delicious 'Different Pizza'!
