Hi Peggy,
I'm looking for things to use up some mascarpone and this pizza recipe you posted looks devine. :) I'm confused by the part where you add the cheese though-- did you drop 3 small spoonfulls all around the pizza or just a big blob in the middle? I'm not sure how the cheese gets all over the pizza, but maybe it doesn't...

Smoked-Salmon Pizza With Mascarpone and Capers

Recipe By :Cooking Light Magazine. Jan/Feb 2001. Page: 134.
Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Fish

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 cups bread flour
1 cup warm water (100 degrees to 110 degrees)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons bread-machine yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cooking spray
2 cups sliced green onions (about 2 bunches)
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
6 tablespoons (about 3 ounces) mascarpone cheese
6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
1 tablespoon capers
6 lemon wedges

Directions.
Mascarpone is a rich, buttery cheese with a delicate, creamy texture.

1. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Follow manufacturer's instructions for placing flour and the next 4 ingredients (flour through salt) into bread pan, and select dough cycle; start bread machine.

2. Remove dough from machine (do not bake). Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 30 seconds. Cover dough; let rest 10 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

4. Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 9-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Cover baking sheets with parchment paper, and place dough rounds on pans. Lightly coat top of dough with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 15 minutes or until puffy.

5. Divide the onions and pepper evenly among dough rounds. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven; drop 3 teaspoonfuls of cheese onto each round. Arrange 1 ounce smoked salmon on top of each pizza, and divide capers evenly among pizzas.

6. Bake the pizzas an additional 8 minutes or until the cheese melts. Serve pizzas with lemon wedges. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 pizza).

Hey Lisa,

I'm not Peggy, but I made this pizza last year. I didn't make the crust, though - I used a single large thin Boboli crust. :o But I can tell you that I blobbed the mascarpone all over the top of the pizza, and it sort of just spread all together when the pizza baked.

Thanks, Eva! I'll give this a shot. Now I just have to find some smoked salmon...

ooh ooh! I'm gonna make this; I'm always looking for things to make with the bag of smoked salmon I have in the freezer. I'll just run some down to you too Lisa :D I'll go back and look up Peggy's review as well. Perhaps DH (mr anti-seafood) will like it if I pile enough of his favorite cheese (mascarpone) on it.

Hi Lisa, Katie and Eva!

I just signed on and saw this question. I also put little blobs of the cheese all over the pizza and it spread out a bit while it baked. Hope you like the recipe as much as we did!
