Kale Skillet Pizza


Kale Skillet Pizza
Recipe courtesy of Vegetarian Times - February 2009
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tsp. light brown sugar
  • 1/2 package dry yeast (1/4 oz.)
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp. flax meal
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced (1 Tbsp.)
  • 8 cups loosely packed kale
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 tsp. ground fennel seed
  • 2 Tbsp. Neufchatel cheese (2 oz.)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz.)
  • 12 cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 Tbs. fresh oregano or basil


DIRECTIONS

  1. To make Dough: Dissolve brown sugar in 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl. Stir in yeast, and let stand 5 minutes, or until liquid is cloudy and bubbly. Stir in whole-wheat flour, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, flax meal, oil, and salt. Knead 2 minutes while adding 1/4 cup flour. Oil in separate bowl, and turn dough in oil to coat. Cover, and let rise in warm spot until dough doubles in size, about 45 minutes.
  2. To make Topping: Heat oil in large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and saute 2 minutes. Add kale, cover, and cook 15 minutes, or until kale is softened, stirring occasionally. Add mushrooms and fennel seed, and cook 7 to 10 minutes more, or until all liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat, and stir in Neufchatel cheese.
  3. Preheat oven to 475F. Oil bottom and sides of 12-inch cast iron skillet. With floured hands, pat and stretch Dough over bottom and halfway up sides of skillet. Let dough rest 5 minutes. Spread kale mixture on dough; scatter feta cheese, tomatoes, and oregano on top. Place skillet directly on oven floor, and bake 15 minutes. Remove carefully from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.

That pie crust looks perfect! Pizzas taste the best when they're covered with veggies, delicious!

Chickpea flour + a cast iron pan makes for a super easy, super tasty pizza crust! No yeast, no kneading, just crispy deliciousness. Here I’ve topped it with tomato sauce, kale, red onions, and cream cheese, but you can top socca pizza with pretty much anything your little heart desires.
