Directions
- Preheat oven as you typically would (commercial ovens at 700-800 F).
- In a food processor, add kale, pecans, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Turn on the food processor and drizzle in the oil. Process until the pesto reaches your desired consistency.
- Prepare the pizza dough as directed.
- Top pizza with an even layer of pesto. Sprinkle cheese over the top. Lastly, in a small bowl, toss 1 cup chopped kale with 1 teaspoon olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Rub the oil into the kale so it’s covered with a light, even layer. Distribute the kale evenly over the top of the pizza.
- Transfer to the oven, either on a baking sheet or onto your preheated baking stone. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese on top is bubbly (about 10 minutes on a baking sheet, or as few as 5 minutes on a baking stone).
