Method

  1. 1

    Heat. Place a rimmed baking tray on the lowest shelf and set the oven to 230 °C.

  2. 2

    Cream. Combine 120 ml double cream, 15 g parmesan, 15 ml lemon juice, 1 grated garlic clove, ¼ tsp optional nutmeg, ¼ tsp chilli flakes and ¼ tsp salt in a small bowl and stir until smooth.

  3. 3

    Wilt. In a medium bowl, rub 115 g curly kale with 15 ml oil and another ¼ tsp salt, squeezing firmly with your hands until the leaves soften.

  4. 4

    Prepare base. Set a tea towel on the work surface, place an inverted tray on top as a makeshift peel, line it with baking paper and brush the paper lightly with 5 ml oil.

  5. 5

    Stretch. Roll or stretch the 450 g dough on the paper to roughly 23 x 33 cm; if it springs back, rest for a few minutes before trying again.

  6. 6

    Layer. Scatter 115 g grated mozzarella evenly across the base, distribute the wilted kale in an even layer, spoon the cream mixture over the top and crown with the 1 thinly sliced shallot.

  7. 7

    Bake. Pull out the hot tray from below, slide the paper and pizza onto it and bake for 14 to 16 minutes until the cheese and crust are golden.

  8. 8

    Serve. Use tongs to transfer the pizza to a cooling rack, leaving the paper behind; rest for a few minutes before cutting.

  • Source of protein: 3.1 g protein per 100 kcal, about 12% of energy (needs ≥ 12%)
  • Low sugars: 1.4 g sugars per 100 g (limit ≤ 5 g)

Per 100 g of the finished dish, worked out from the nutrition per serving and the lowest likely cooked weight (about 181 g a serving), so the true values are, if anything, lower. Thresholds from the Annex to EU Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006. How we decide
