- 1 pound pizza dough
- 4 ounces feta cheese
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- 2 TBSP olive oil PLUS some for oiling the pan
- 1 1/2-2 cups baby kale chopped and uncooked
- 1 cup artichoke hearts chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/4 tsp salt
- fresh cracked pepper
- red pepper flakes optional
Begin by allowing the pizza dough to proof and come to room temperature. (If you are using a preformed pizza crust, you will skip this step.)
While the dough is proofing, add the feta and goat cheese to a small bowl and allow the cheeses to come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 425 and lightly oil a 9x13 sheet pan.
Once the dough has finished proofing, gently stretch it to fit the size of the sheet pan.
Top the raw dough with the 2 TBSP of olive oil and the minced garlic. Bake the dough for 2-3 in the oven and then remove.
Mix the room temperature feta and goat cheese together in the bowl. I find a fork works best for this. Spread the softened cheese mixture onto the partially cooked dough leaving a little space at the edges. Next, top the pizza with the chopped kale and artichoke hearts. Season the veggies with salt and pepper.
Finish the pizza off with the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes before serving if using.
