Simple Pizza Dough
Step 1
Add the water and sprinkle in the yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.
Step 2
Add the oil, salt and ½ cup flour. Turn the stand mixer on low speed and continue to add the flour in ½ cup increments, until dough comes together.
Step 3
Knead for 5 to 8 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Let rise for 2 hours, until doubled in size.
Everything Bagel Pizza
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 475°F degrees. Place a pizza stone on the middle rack.
Step 2
Divide prepared pizza dough into two equal portions. On a lightly floured surface stretch out each piece of dough into roughly a thin 10-inch round.

Brush each pizza with olive oil and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning. Bake until golden and brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.

Once the pizza has cooled slightly, use an offset spatula to spread an even layer of cream cheese over the crust.
Step 6
Top with lox, capers, red onion and scallions. Slice and serve!
