Ingredients:
1 pound of pizza dough
For the Pesto:
1 cup lacinto (dinosaur) kale, tightly packed
1 cup basil, tightly packed
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup hemp seeds
1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Pizza:
Basil leaves for garnish

Vegan mozzarella
Method:
1. Prepare pizza dough per instructions (mine had to be set out at room temp for 30 minutes beforehand) and preheat oven
While the dough is rising, start on the pesto:
2. In a food processor, combine the kale, basil, pine nuts, hemp seeds, lemon juice, and garlic and blend until relatively smooth
3. Next, turn the processor on the lowest speed and slowly drizzle in olive
By now, the pizza dough should be nice and ready:
4. Spread it out on a lightly floured surface
5. Spread out pesto
6. Place tomato slices, basil leaves, and non-dairy
7. Bake roughly 10 minutes at 475°F
8. Remove from oven, let cool slightly, cut, and enjoy!
