Instructions
  1. Dissolve yeast in a small bowl of tepid water; whisk gently to fully incorporate the yeast. Let it stand 5-10 minutes, while the yeast softens. Combine remaining ingredients into a large stand mixer bowl, form a well for the yeast mixture. Add the mixture and knead the dough with a dough hook until incorporated 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand until dough is soft and elastic (5 minutes). Place dough in a oiled bowl, cover with a cloth. Allow to rise at room temperature for one hour or until dough doubles in size. Once the dough has doubled, turn it onto a floured surface. Use a knife or dough scraper to cut dough into four equal pieces. Gently form each piece into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and cover with plastic and let rise for 20 minutes. The dough is now ready for shaping. Roll to desired thickness, top with selected toppings and bake until golden brown.

Instructions
  1. Whisk two tablespoon of lemon juice with 1/3 cup of olive oil and sea salt in a small bowl. Add the thinly sliced onions and toss to coat and set aside.
  2. Preheat the grill to medium or heat a grill pan on the stove top over medium-high heat. With a pastry brush, lightly brush both sides of each slice of bread with the EVOO. Place the bread on the grill and toast until light golden brown and grill marks appear, flipping once during the process (take care not to burn the bread).
  3. While the bread is still very warm, rub the cut garlic clove over both sides of the bread slice. Allow the bread to cool completely, then begin layering by adding a slice of avocado. Brush the sliced avocado with a small amount of the onion-lemon-olive oil mixture, and a grind of fresh pepper. Add the smoked salmon, and top with a few slices of marinated onions and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
  4. Twist: Flavored olive oil would add an extra POP of flavor to this dish. Tuscan Herb, House Blend, Rosemary. For an added flavor and a kiss of sweetness use a balsamic reduction to the top!
