Directions

To prepare dough, mix 1 cup of the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a large bowl.

Pour oil into water; add to yeast mixture.

Mix thoroughly. Add remaining flour; knead for 3 to 5 minutes on a floured surface. Put in a greased bowl, cover and place in a warm spot for 40 minutes or until needed. Dough can be made in the morning and kept in the refrigerator. Let it warm up for about 1 hour before using. The dough is very forgiving. Stretch dough out on an ungreased medium pizza pan or cookie sheet just before you are ready to assemble the pizza. Preheat oven to 475?F. In a small bowl, mix tomato, garlic, green onions, pepper and dill. Spread this mixture directly on pizza crust. Sprinkle Asiago cheese on top. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes on lower rack of oven. Remove from oven. Spread salmon and capers on top; return to oven for 3 minutes. Makes an 8 slice pizza.
