Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb. whole wheat pizza dough*
6 oz. Italian sausage casings removed (about 2 links)
2 cups kale torn/cut into small pieces
6 Tbs. fire-roasted diced tomatoes drained
1-2 cups mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Prepare pizza dough. I use this recipe for whole wheat pizza dough, but store bought works as well. Stretch dough into bottom of 9x13 baking dish or onto a round pizza pan.
Par-bake pizza dough for 10 minutes.
Remove sausage from casings (if you purchased links). Brown sausage in skillet over high heat. 3-5 minutes, breaking up as it cooks.
Cup kale and add into skillet to brown. Remove sausage and kale from pan and set aside.
When dough is done par-baking, remove from oven.
Add fire roasted tomatoes, sausage, kale and cheese.
Place back in oven for 5 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Cut, serve and enjoy

Notes

* a pre-made pizza crust or flatbread works just as well here.

I find this recipe is flavorful as is, and because kids eat this, I don't salt it a ton, if you'd like to add a little salt or garlic salt while the sausage/kale are cooking, definitely feel free to add some!
