Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by adding fresh kale, garlic, and your choice of pine nuts or walnuts into a food processor. Drizzle in olive oil, then blend for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  2. While your pesto is blending, preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Spread the freshly made Garlicky Kale Pesto generously over the pizza crust, leaving a small border for the crust. Arrange your choice of toppings.
  4. Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown.
  5. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute, slice into wedges, and serve immediately.
