Pizza with Kale, Roasted Garlic & Four Cheeses

Recipe: Pizza with Kale, Roasted Garlic & Four Cheeses

Ingredients

  • your favorite pizza dough
  • 2 big handfuls of kale, sauteed in some olive oil until tender, then chopped
  • cloves from about half a head of roasted garlic, thickly sliced
  • 3 cups of grated cheese, a mix of fontina, asiago, provolone and mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F with a baking stone inside (I place my baking stone on a rack, and place the rack on the lowest slot in the oven.)
  2. Generously dust a pizza peel (or the back of a sheet pan) with coarse cornmeal or flour. Roll or stretch your pizza dough out to a 12 to 14 inch circle directly on the peel (or pan.)
  3. Top the crust with half the grated cheese, then half the sliced roasted garlic and half the sauteed kale. Repeat with another layer of cheese, garlic, and kale.
  4. Bake in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and just starting to brown, and the crust is golden brown.
