Instructions
Dough
Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water. Work the yeast, wheat and whole rye flour, and egg into a smooth dough. Cover and set aside for 20 min.
Add salt and olive oil to the dough and knead until fully incorporated. Cover and allow to rise for approximately 20 min.
Preheat the oven to230C. Line a large baking tray with parchment.
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangular shape (or any shape) as thin as possible. You can use a knife to shape the edges of the rectangular.
Transfer the dough to the lined baking tray.
Toppings
Spread the tomato purée over the top, leaving a space around the edge without any topping.
Chop the onion into half-thin rings. Add the onions to the pan with the butter, and cook a few minutes until the onions have softened but not brown. Cut the cheese into thin strips. Set aside. Wash arugula roughly, though away any brown or wilted leaves.
Spread over the smoked salmon, sauteed onions, and cheese.
Baking
Bake for around 9minutes until the edges are lightly brown and crisp and the toppings are just starting to colour.
Now top with the arugula and bake for another minute.
