Instructions

Activate the yeast by combining warm water, honey, and yeast in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes.
Mix in flour and Italian seasoning gradually, adjusting for stickiness with more flour as needed.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until elastic, either using a mixer or by hand.
Shape the dough into a circle and transfer it to a greased pizza pan, pinching the edges for the crust.
Preheat the oven to 500°F to achieve a crispy bottom.
Spread pesto sauce evenly on the crust as a base.
Layer with chopped kale, mozzarella, roasted asparagus, and sliced apples in a colorful arrangement.
Brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning before baking.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before slicing and garnish with pistachios and dressing before serving.

Notes

To make gluten-free, substitute with appropriate flour types.
For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and ensure pesto is plant-based.
Store any leftover pizza at room temperature for up to 2 hours, refrigerate for a maximum of 3 days.
