Ditch the delivery and whip up the best homemade pizza with a recipe for garlicky kale, bacon and mozzarella pizza.
Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought or http://www.justataste.com/2010/01/the-ultimate-pizza-dough/
- Cornmeal, for dusting baking sheet
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
- 2 1/2 cups curly kale leaves, torn into 1-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 ounces mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onions
- Shredded Parmesan cheese, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500 ºF.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it is roughly 12 inches wide and 1/4-inch thick. (See Kelly's Notes.)
- Invert a baking sheet and sprinkle it liberally with cornmeal. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet.
- Cook the diced bacon in a medium sauté pan set over medium-low heat until a majority of the fat has rendered. Remove the bacon pieces with a slotted spoon to a large bowl, along with 2 teaspoons of the bacon drippings. Add the kale, olive oil and garlic to the bowl, tossing to combine.
- Arrange the mozzarella slices in a single layer on the pizza dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Evenly scatter the kale-bacon mixture on top of the cheese then top the kale with the sliced red onions. Brush the border of the pizza dough with the reserved bacon drippings.
- Bake the pizza for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating it half-way through, until the crust is fully baked and golden brown. Remove the pizza from the oven to a cutting board, sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese, and slice and serve.
- Kelly's Notes: The pizza dough can be rolled into any desired shape, including round, rectangular or free-form, for a more rustic look.
- You can use a pizza stone in place of the inverted baking sheet.
- Oven temperatures and positions may vary, so make sure you are baking your pizza on the middle rack and check it frequently.
- The kale leaves must be well coated in the bacon drippings and olive oil or they will burn before the dough is fully baked. And it may seem like a large amount of kale, but pile it high atop the dough, as it'll cook down significantly once baked.
