"Another of Emeril's many wonderful recipes. However, I did omit the Roe when I made it. Total inactive prep time is 1 hr. 40 min. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05"

ingredients

¹⁄₄ cup olive oil
6 ounces goat cheese
8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
2 ounces salmon roe
¹⁄₄ cup minced shallots or 1/4 cup green onion
1 sprig fresh dill, to garnish
Basic Pizza Dough
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F)
1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

directions

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.

My name is Ami and I share my home with my husband, Carey, our two small sons, James and Charles and our daughters Meradydd (it's pronounced Meradith)and Kathrynn. Until recently, I was a Specialist in the National Guard. I'm pretty eclectic in my studies and I've learned a lot becuase of that since I don't limit myself. Right now I'm taking classes for animal care. I've also been studying a lot about herbalism and really enjoy learning about that. My mother and I also run a home based business for natural soap, balms, etc. We use only the most the natural ingredients available. I'm also a Mary Kay consultant. Busy, huh? :D I love to read and learn new things. My husband says our books will be the death of us. LOL. I love to cook and experiment. I also like to take walks, rain or not.
