The 'Pizza with Baked Salmon and Avocado' recipe was inspired by a cooking show on TV which I watched during my gym session a few months ago. However, the chef in the cooking show used a ready-made pizza crust to prepare more or less the similar pizza. I somehow choose to be different by preparing my own pastry sheet at home. In this way, I would learn from scratch on how pizza is made. Yes, it is time saving to just buy but again, the culinary arts is about experimenting almost everything by oneself which I would call that 'satisfaction'!
The pastry recipe is pretty simple and adopted from my Chicken Puff or Chicken Cornish recipe. Corn flour is added to add crispness for this thin crust pizza.
The whole process is not complicated. It takes less than 30 min to prepare and another 20 minutes to bake. It is even better if you have some left-over meat/beef/chicken stew. Just exchange that with salmon in the following recipe.
Exploring a new recipe is fun, let's see what happen in my cooking laboratory.
