Sweet Potato, Kale, Caramelized Onion Pizza
Have you ever had your dreams literally realized? If your dreams consist of skydiving with your preschool teacher, your crush, and Jodie Foster, for your sake, I really hope not. But tonight one of my dreams came true. You see, last week I had an impeccably and bizarrely precise dream about making kale pizza with four particular people. In the dream I even promised myself that if it were in fact a dream I needed to make it a reality, ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Thus was born the first pizza night of 2013. Nobody was killed in the making of this pizza.
My friends Anna, Grace, and Ben came over and we made this delicious-a$$ pizza, dough and everything. As it turns out, making your own dough only takes about an hour-ish and the only semi-weird ingredient is semolina flour, which isn’t even that goddamn weird! Ben is a good bread-makin’ man, so I shamelessly made him do that. The result? Dope delicious delectable dough THE D IS SILENT.
Sweet Potato, Kale, Caramelized Onion Pizza
Dough recipe from Two Peas and Their Pod
- 2 1/4 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- pinch o’ sugar
- 1 3/4 cups semolina flour
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, chopped
- 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup kale, chopped
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce or paste
- 1 Tablespoon rosemary
- 1 red onion, sliced
For de dough:
- Combine yeast and 1 cup warm water in a small bowl. Add a pinch of sugar and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl (or standing mixer if you’ve got one!), add semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix the ingredients until combined.
- Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and mix until combined. Knead for about 5 minutes on a counter surface.
- Grease a large bowl with a bit of olive oil. Form dough into a ball and place in the bowl. Cover pizza dough with a damp towel and set in a warm area to rise (near preheating oven is ideal!). Let the dough rise for 1 hour or until dough has roughly doubled in size.
For de toppings:
- Preheat the oven to 400º. Line a cookie sheet with foil and spread the chopped sweet potato, drizzled with 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil. Pop in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until soft. Remove and set aside.
- In the meantime, place a frying pan over low heat and add sliced red onion and ~1 Tablespoon olive oil. Cover, and set to simmer for 30-35 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Once the dough has risen and the sweet potatoes and onions are ready, turn the oven up to 500º. If you have a pizza stone, place the pizza stone in the oven to get hot. If not, get out a cookie sheet. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough using a rolling pin. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and place on the pizza stone or cookie sheet.
- Top the pizza with sauce (or paste) and sprinkle with rosemary. Layer the sweet potato, onions, and top with kale. Place in the oven to bake at500º for 8-10 minutes, until the crust crisps up. Remove and set to cool. Enjoy!

Caramelized Onion, Sweet Potato, and Kale Socca PizzaIngredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree*
- 1/4 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp Braggs liquid aminos
- 1/2 tsp adobo sauce (or a few drops of hot sauce)
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, sliced into thin strips
- 1 batch of socca (see link above)
- 1 cup kale, destemmed and chopped into shreds
- 1 tsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, almond milk, Braggs and adobo sauce. Set aside.
- Add 1 tsp of olive oil to a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat. After about 30 seconds add the onion and stir to coat in oil. Stir every couple of minutes for about 45 minutes or until the onions take on a golden brown colour. Set aside.
- Pour the socca batter into a tart pan and bake in the oven for 15 minutes. Turn on the broiler for 2 minutes to brown the top. Set aside.
- In the medium sauce pan that you use to caramelized the onions, saute the kale in a tsp of olive oil over medium heat. Saute just to wilt. It should take less than 1 minute.
- Now that all the components are ready to go, spread the sweet potato puree over the warm socca. Top with the wilted kale and caramelized onion. Serve warm or a room temperature.
- * To make sweet potato puree, I peel 1 medium sweet potato, chop it into 1 inch cubes, toss it with a splash of olive oil, bake it at 400 degrees for 55 minutes and then puree in a food processor until smooth. Done!

Ok, fine. It’s no longer week of Thankscooking. But I just now got around to uploading the belle of the ball this year, due in part to all the prep work that went into this dish. That, with all the traveling, may have stalled the imminent arrival of THANKSGIVING MEGA PIZZA.
That’s right, ladies. I give you Thanksgiving mega pizza. Rather than post a full recipe, I’ll just let you figure this one out on your own if you’re man enough. It was truly delicious and I am still rationing myself leftovers daily. Here’s what we have going on in this Thanksgiving Mega Pizza:
pizza dough from scratch (Isa’s recipe, found here)
orange pomegranate cranberry sauce - recipe found here
garlicky kale - chopped kale tossed in olive oil and garlic
thinly sliced sweet potatoes
rosemary mushroom seitan - recipe found here
roasted brocooliOh, yes ma’am. Happy Thanksgiving to me.
Now let the Christmas cooking begin!

Sweet Potato Tikka Pizza!
This is a mini-pizza that happens to be GF (as long as the mystery chunk of faux-cheese doesn’t have some hidden gluten, anyway.) It is a chile corn tortilla lovingly sauced with mashed sweet potato, then gently topped with a spicy sweet-potato-and-tofu tikka masala, then further accented by tangy green tomatillo salsa and the end of nameless vegan cheeze coaxed into star shapes for the kids.
This is what leftovers look like at our house on a good day! It is hot, creamy, sweet, sharp, spicy, crispy, chewy, and just dang delicious.
