Ingredients
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp (3g) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp (4g) sugar
- 3/4 cup (180ml) warm water
- 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 2 tbsp (30g) sour cream
- 1 tbsp (5g) fresh dill
- 1/2, juiced lemon

Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour, 1 tsp (3g) active dry yeast, and 1 tsp (4g) sugar. In a separate bowl, mix 3/4 cup (180ml) warm water and 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding up to 2 tablespoons of flour if sticky.
- Step 2: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 1 hour.
- Step 3: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for 30 minutes.
- Step 4: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp (30g) sour cream, 1 tbsp (5g) fresh dill, and 1/2 lemon (1 tbsp) juice until smooth. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Step 5: Top with 4 oz (113g) smoked salmon, 2 tbsp (30g) capers, and 1 tbsp (5g) fresh dill.
- Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Frequently asked questions
How long does Dublin Smoked Salmon Pizza take to make?
Total time is about 45 minutes (30 min prep + 15 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.
How do I store leftover Dublin Smoked Salmon Pizza?
Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep (250g) all-purpose flour from drying out.
Can I substitute ingredients in Dublin Smoked Salmon Pizza?
Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Dublin Smoked Salmon Pizza for a different number of people?
The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
