Ingredients
Makes 1x 12” pizza
300g Neo-Neapolitan dough ball

Method
Prepare your pizza dough ahead of time. Cody’s guide to making the perfect Neo-Neapolitan Pizza Dough covers everything you need to know.
Fire up your Ooni pizza oven. Aim for 952˚F (500˚C) on the stone baking board inside. You can check the temperature inside your Ooni quickly and easily using the Ooni Infrared Thermometer.
Using a small amount of flour, dust your Ooni pizza peel. Stretch the pizza dough ball out and lay it out on your pizza peel. Spoon an even layer of Garlic cream over the base of the pizza. Top with the mozzarella, followed by the goat cheese. Add the kale leaves, then finish with a drizzle of olive oil to help the leaves crisp up in the oven.
Slide the pizza off the peel and into your Ooni Pizza Oven. Cook for 1-2 minutes until puffy and golden brown round the crust, spotted with colour.
Remove the cooked pizza and top with fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and a sprinkling of finely chopped preserved lemon for a zingy finish.
