Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Pizza Dough
  • 6 ounces Ricotta Cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese Plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Lemon Extract
  • 1 cup Kale Roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Plus more for garnish
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Olive Oil Plus more for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine kale, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, garlic and 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil. Toss to coat and let stand in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • In a separate medium bowl, stir together ricotta, salt, pepper, Parmesan and lemon extract. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Gently roll out pizza dough into an approximately 14 x 8-inch large rectangle.
  • Place the rolled out dough on a baking sheet that’s been flipped upside down and greased with olive oil.
  • Transfer the dough directly to the grill over direct heat and cook for 1 minute, until the dough is stiff on the bottom.
  • Turn over and grill until there are a few light grill marks on that side, approximately 30 seconds.
  • Remove the flatbread dough from the grill. Spread with 1/2 the ricotta mixture, leaving a crust around the edge.
  • Top with the marinated kale and then dollop the remaining ricotta mixture all over the dough.
  • Return the flatbread to the grill and cook over indirect heat until the cheese is warmed through, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with extra red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese as desired.
  • Cut and serve with fresh lemon wedges.
