Method
 

Cooking Steps:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Base
    Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up. If using a baking tray, prepare it by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture
    In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, finely chopped dill, and crushed garlic. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
    Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the wholemeal pizza base. Use a spatula to ensure an even layer that covers the entire surface.
  4. Step 4: Add the Toppings
    Sprinkle the finely sliced red onion over the cream cheese layer. Follow this with the light grated mozzarella cheese, ensuring even coverage. Next, layer the smoked salmon on top, followed by thin slices of avocado.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle and Bake
    Drizzle the garlic olive oil over the toppings. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon pepper to enhance the flavors. Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
  6. Step 6: Add Fresh Greens
    Once out of the oven, let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes. Top with a handful of fresh baby rocket or arugula for a vibrant, fresh touch.
  7. Step 7: Slice and Serve
    Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures with each bite!

Notes

  • You can prepare the cream cheese mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Chop the vegetables and slice the avocado just before assembling to maintain freshness.
  • Assemble the pizza up to 24 hours in advance; cover it and store it in the refrigerator. Bake before serving.
