Treat your ingredients with care...
- Smoked salmon — Ensure the smoked salmon is thinly sliced for easy and even distribution on the pizza.
- Dill — Use fresh dill for the best flavor. Chop it just before using to retain its vibrant taste.
- Pickles — Opt for crunchy pickles with a tangy flavor to add a delightful contrast to the pizza.
Tips & Tricks
- For a crispier crust, preheat your baking sheet in the oven before placing the rolled-out dough on it.
- Experiment with different Russian ingredients such as cured meats, sauerkraut, or Russian-style pickles to customize the flavors of your pizza.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes before baking.
- Serve the pizza with a dollop of sour cream on top for an extra touch of Russian authenticity.
- Leftover pizza can be reheated in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes.
Serving advice
Serve the Russian-style New York pizza hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and enjoy it as a main course or as part of a casual gathering with friends and family.
Presentation advice
