Kale & Salmon Pizza

So, I'm still battling a cold. I know, I know, and yet, here I am. Posting the pizza I made (like a champ) when most human-shaped humans would be one with the couch and snuggly blanket. ...I might be there now, but whatever. Like a champ, remember?

Pizza

So, confession time. These pictures are of the first time I made this pizza. It was good. But I knew I could do better. So I made it again. And it was goooooooooood. So, pretend that these pictures are of a much better pizza that looks similar to this one.

Kale & Salmon Pizza

1 can Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza Dough

2 tomatoes, sliced then halved

handful of shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 a bunch of kale, torn into small pieces

olive oil

1 can of salmon, boneless & skinless

Preheat oven to 400. Unroll pizza crust onto a greased pizza pan/cookie sheet. Coat with olive oil. Bake for 8 minutes. Sprinkle cheese onto pizza crust. *Only use a small amount, 1/4-1/3 cup, not even enough to cover the whole crust.* Cover pizza with kale. There should be enough small pieces so that you can't see the crust through the kale. Place tomatoes and salmon on top. Sprinkle olive oil all over. Bake for 6 minutes. Enjoy.

See the kale in this picture? The pieces were NOT small enough. Make them small. Trust me. And use a lot more kale than I did. It's worth it.

Also, there will be more tomato. 

See how scrawny this one came out after making it? You can see whole patches of crust. The second one was better. I'm sad I didn't take pictures of that one. But come on, I have a cold people!

Not Exactly Pizza Inn Chocolate Chip Pizza

Every time I go somewhere I once lived, there are foods I feel I must eat while I can. As much as I love living in SoFla, there are many many foods that I just can’t get down here. I missed one precious opportunity recently - Pizza Inn's Chocolate Chip Pizzert. Sadly, if I want a genuine pizzert I must travel over 575 miles for it. Not likely. Sooooo I’ve tried to replicate it. This is more difficult than it would seem. (Google it. Many people have tried, many have failed.)

My secret ingredients:

The Jiffy mix plus butter poured over the pizza crust. (Side note: this is the first time I’ve used Pillsbury’s thin crust pizza in a tube and I’m a convert. It’s really good and doesn’t taste like it’s pre-made like I thought it would.)

Add chocolate chips. I used mini ones. It was a good call. Although, I’d probably use a few more.

After baking it for 15ish minutes. (Confession - I don’t remember how long I baked it. At all even a little.)

Yum.

Result - not exactly what I wanted. I cooked it too long, I need more of a gooey filling. Also, it was kind of thin. Maybe more mix? But I’m going to try again. Soon.
