Treat your ingredients with care...
- Smoked salmon — Ensure the smoked salmon is thinly sliced for easy and even distribution on the pizza.
- Jarlsberg cheese — Shred the Jarlsberg cheese just before using to maintain its freshness and optimal melting consistency.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, add thinly sliced red onions or capers as additional toppings.
- If lingonberry sauce is not available, cranberry sauce can be used as a substitute.
- To achieve a crispier crust, preheat the baking sheet or pizza stone before placing the rolled-out dough on it.
- Experiment with different herbs such as chives or parsley for added freshness.
- Leftover pizza can be enjoyed cold or reheated in the oven for a few minutes.
Serving advice
Serve the Norwegian-inspired Pizza Delight hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and serve as a main course or as part of a buffet-style meal. Pair it with a fresh green salad to complement the flavors and add a refreshing element to the meal.
Presentation advice
To enhance the presentation, garnish the pizza with additional fresh dill sprigs and a drizzle of lingonberry sauce. The vibrant colors of the smoked salmon and dill will create an appealing visual contrast against the golden crust and melted cheese.
