kcalIngredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, sliced
1 bunch Swiss chard (1 pound), stems removed and thinly sliced, leaves torn into pieces
Coarse salt, to taste
1 pound homemade whole-wheat pizza dough or store-bought whole-wheat pizza dough
1 cup grated Gruyère cheese (about 2 ounces)
Pinch red pepper flakes
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Sauté the Swiss Chard: In a large skillet, heat the extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced Swiss chard stems and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the torn Swiss chard leaves and a pinch of coarse salt, cooking until the leaves are wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions for preparation.
- Assemble the Pizza: Place the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet or a pizza peel (if using a pizza stone). Spread the sautéed Swiss chard and garlic evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese on top and add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat.
- Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza to the oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone). Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, then slice and serve warm.
