Oscar Worthy Appetizers - Smoked Salmon Matzo
Appetizers
For the 21st consecutive year, famed and wellloved Chef Wolfgang Puck has created an Oscar worthy menu that wows crowds visually and of course, their tastebuds. Dine like the stars by serving up Oscar winning appetizers like this menu from Wolfgang Puck

Ingredients

For cracker:
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped rosemary plus 2 (6-inch) sprigs
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil plus more for brushing
For salmon:
smoked salmon (at least 21 ounces)
crème fraiche (about 16 ounces)
caviar such as Petrossian (you can never have too much caviar)

Instructions

For flatbread:
Preheat oven to 450°F with a heavy baking sheet on rack in middle.
Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
Make a well in center, then add water and oil and gradually stir into flour with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
Knead dough gently on a work surface 4 or 5 times.
Divide dough into 3 pieces and roll out 1 piece (keep remaining pieces covered with plastic wrap) on a sheet of parchment paper into a 10-inch round (shape can be rustic; dough should be thin).
Cut out in the shape of an Oscar statue, if desired.
Lightly brush top with additional oil and scatter small clusters of rosemary leaves on top, pressing in slightly.
Slide round (still on parchment) onto preheated baking sheet and bake until pale golden and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer flatbread (discard parchment) to a rack to cool, then make 2 more rounds (1 at a time) on fresh parchment (do not oil or salt until just before baking).
Break into pieces, if using whole; if shaped into Oscar statues, let cool.
Spread crème fraiche on Oscar statues.
Top with smoked salmon and cut to fit the statues.
Top with caviar and enjoy.
Pressed for time, spread crème fraiche on a store bought crispy flatbread cracker and top with salmon and caviar.
