Ingredients

  • 14-16 ounces homemade pizza dough
  • 1/3 cup basil pesto
  • 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 2 cups kale chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ounces goat cheese crumbled
  • arugula for topping
  • balsamic glaze

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Spread a thin coat of olive oil on a baking sheet. 
  • Roll the pizza dough into a thin circle. (We love thin crust pizza, so we roll ours out fairly thin). Carefully transfer the pizza dough to the baking sheet.
  • Spread the basil pesto into an even layer on top of the pizza dough. 
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the pesto. 
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the kale, olive oil, and salt and pinch of black pepper. Using your hands, massage the kale until the leaves become droopy and soft, about 2 minutes. 
  • Spread the kale in an even layer over the mozzarella cheese. 
  • Disperse the crumbled goat cheese over the kale. 
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the crust is golden in color and cooked through. 
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh arugula and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
