WOLFGANG PUCK'S PIZZAS WITH SMOKED SALMON AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees and put a pizza stone inside. Knead 2 teaspoons of the minced chives into the pizza dough. Roll or stretch the dough into four 8-inch circles. Place the pizzas on a lightly floured wooden peel or board. (Work in batches.) Brush the centers of the circles with olive oil to within 1 inch of the edges.
• Slide the pizzas onto the stone and bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer to serving plates and spread with the sour cream or creme frache. Arrange the salmon slices over the top. Place a tablespoon of the golden caviar in the center of each pizza and spoon 1/4 of the black caviar into each center. Sprinkle the salmon with the remaining chives and serve.
