Ingredients

1 (16 to 20 oz.) pkg. multigrain pizza dough

2 tsp. olive oil

1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots

1 tsp. minced garlic

1/4 tsp. kosher salt

1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

6 cups finely chopped kale leaves, stems discarded (about 3/4 -,- 1 lb.)

1/4 cup water

1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or more, as needed for rolling dough

4 oz. part-skim mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

1 egg, beaten

1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

marinara sauce (optional)

shredded cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Remove pizza dough from packaging and let sit for 25 to 30 minutes. It will be easier to roll and shape the dough when it is at room temperature.

Step 2

While the dough rests, prepare the filling. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.

Step 3

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add kale and water. Stir well to combine. Cover pan and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove cover and continue to cook until kale is completely wilted and the water has cooked off, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough into a large rectangle, about 10 by 14 inches. If dough starts to feel difficult to roll out, let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes, then continue rolling. Spread kale mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border on all 4 sides. Sprinkle cheese cubes over the kale. Brush some beaten egg on the border.

Step 5

Starting on a longer side, roll up the dough tightly, like a jelly roll. Place the loaf seam-side-down on the prepared baking sheet. Seal up both ends and tuck them under the log. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Step 6

Bake until golden brown, about 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer loaf to a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Slice into 1-inch-thick slices and serve warm or at room temperature, with warmed marinara sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping, if desired.
