Ingredients

For the base

1 cup all purpose flour plain flour
1 tbsp oil (olive oil/vegetable oil as you prefer)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup water or a little more as needed

For the topping

¼ red onion medium
4 tablespoon creme fraiche divided
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
2 oz smoked salmon
1 teaspoon capers drained

Instructions

For the base

Mix together the flour, oil, salt and water in a bowl. If it's too dry and won't come together, add a little more water (as you may need to), but it will be a relatively dry dough. Knead for a minute then set aside while you prepare the toppings.

For rest of pizza

Preheat the oven to 450F/230C. Line a large baking sheet/tray (half sheet) with parchment.
Slice the onion into thin slices - these can be lengthwise, halved if very long, or quarter rings, as you prefer. Add the salt and pepper to the creme fraiche and mix well. Tear the smoked salmon into small pieces and chill until needed.
Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a circle/oval as thin as you can (around ⅛in/3mm).
Transfer the dough to the lined baking sheet then spread ¾ of the creme fraiche mixture over the top, leaving a space around the edge without any topping.
Scatter the onions evenly over the creamy mixture then bake for around 10 minutes until the edges are lightly brown and crisp and the toppings are just starting to color.
Let it cool a minute, then add the smoked salmon on top. Dot the remaining creme fraiche over the top then add the capers evenly (you can also add additional toppings, if you like, as mentioned above) before serving.

Notes

If you can't find creme fraiche, try a mix of sour cream and Greek yogurt.

If you prefer a more traditional pizza base, feel free to use pizza dough instead. You could also use a plain flatbread or pita - if already cooked, I'd suggest toasting under the grill rather than in oven to cook a little less.
