Smoked Salmon Pizza
Smoked salmon pizza combines a homemade yeast dough, tomato purée base and melting mozzarella, topped with silky smoked salmon after baking. The Thermomix warms the yeast mixture at exactly the right temperature and kneads the dough uniformly, giving a crisp-yet-chewy base. An elegant main course that tastes like an Italian pizzeria at home.
About this recipe
Smoked salmon pizza Thermomix TM7 brings a touch of Italian elegance to your table, and this recipe proves why the all-in-one kitchen machine excels at homemade pizza night. The dough is the heart of this main course: the TM7 warms water, sugar and yeast at the exact proofing temperature, then kneads flour into a smooth, elastic ball that bakes up crisp on the outside and chewy within. While the dough rests, the mixing bowl blends tomato purée with olive oil and sea salt into an even, restaurant-style sauce in seconds. Once baked with bubbling mozzarella, thin ribbons of smoked salmon and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil finish the pizza — the heat of the crust gently warms the fish, releasing its smoky aroma without cooking it. Looking for smoked salmon pizza recipes that suit a quick weekend dinner or a festive starter? This one delivers pizzeria quality with hardly any washing up.
Preparation tips
- Let the dough proof in a greased bowl covered with a damp tea towel until doubled in size; a slow proof develops the flavour of the crust and makes it lighter under the mozzarella and salmon.
- Add the smoked salmon only after baking, together with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, so the fish stays silky and its smoky aroma remains intact.
- Short on time? Use a shop-bought pizza base and focus on the Thermomix-blended tomato sauce; a squeeze of lemon over the salmon before serving brightens the whole pizza.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the mozzarella with a lactose-free mozzarella alternative and finish with the same smoked salmon, olive oil and sea salt — the flavour profile stays virtually identical.
- Festive variation: swap the tomato purée base for a crème fraîche base with dill, and top the smoked salmon with red onion rings and capers for a Scandinavian-style celebration pizza.
