Wild Mushroom and Kale Pizza

Ingredients

Pizza dough

1 lb, store-bought or homemade

Olive oil

2 tablespoons, plus more for drizzling

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Wild mushrooms

2 cups, sliced (such as shiitake, oyster, or chanterelles)

Kale

2 cups, chopped and stems removed

Mozzarella cheese

1 1/2 cups, shredded

Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup, grated

Salt

to taste

Pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, aiming for a rustic shape.
3. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
4. Add the sliced wild mushrooms to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5 minutes, then add the chopped kale. Stir and cook until the kale is wilted. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Carefully remove the heated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and transfer the rolled-out dough onto it.
6. Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
7. Spoon the mushroom and kale mixture over the cheese, ensuring an even distribution. Finish by sprinkling the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
9. Once baked, let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil for added richness.
