Ingredients

  • INGREDIENTS FOR PIZZA DOUGH:
  • ¼ oz. active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water (100 - 110° F)
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 3 – 3¼ cups whole-wheat flour, divided use
  • ½ tsp. fine sea salt (or Himalayan salt)
  • 2 tsp. olive oil, divided use
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • INGREDIENTS FOR PIZZA:
  • 1-1½ cups fresh roasted (or canned) pumpkin puree
  • ¾ tsp. curry powder
  • 2 Tbsp low-sodium organic vegetable (or chicken) broth
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 2 cups chopped kale, stems removed
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped, caramelized (see tips)
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  1. For Pizza Dough:

    Place yeast, water, and sugar in a medium bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes, or until yeast becomes foamy.

  2. Combine 3 cups flour and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add flour mixture to yeast mixture. Mix with clean hands until mixture does not stick to your hands. Add additional flour if needed. Roll dough into a ball. Brush with ½ tsp. oil. Place in a bowl; cover with a towel. Let rise for 2 hours.

  3. Punch down dough to remove air; knead and roll into a ball. Brush with ½ tsp. oil. Place in a bowl; cover with a towel. Let rise for an additional 2 hours.

  4. Preheat oven to 450° F.

  5. Roll dough until it will no longer stretch. Let rest for 5 minutes. Continue to roll until it reaches your desired diameter, about 10 to 12-inches, and about ½-inch thick. Place on baking pan lightly coated with spray.

  6. Brush with remaining 1 tsp. oil.

  7. For Pizza:

    While pizza dough is resting, combine pumpkin, curry powder, and broth in a medium bowl; mix well. Set aside.

  8. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat.

  9. Add kale; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until kale softens. Set aside.

  10. Spread pizza dough evenly with pumpkin mixture, stopping ½-inch from edge.

  11. Top evenly with kale and onion.

  12. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crust is golden.

  13. Top with cheese.

Recipe Notes

Tip: You can make fresh roasted pumpkin puree by cutting a pumpkin in half and placing it on a baking pan. Drizzle it with ½ tsp. olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350° F for 35 to 40 minutes. If using fresh pumpkin puree, increase vegetable broth to 4 Tbsp. To caramelize onion, heat 1 tsp. olive oil in medium nonstick skillet. Add 1 chopped onion; cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes. Once onions begin to brown reduce heat to low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until onions are brown.
