FOR THE DOUGH: In a stand mixer fitted with the dough
hook, mix together the water, sugar and yeast. Let it
sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer running
on low speed, add the oil and salt, then gradually add
the bread and whole-wheat flours. Increase the speed to
medium high and mix, adding just enough additional bread
flour so that the dough no longer sticks to the bowl,
until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky, 7 to 10
minutes. (Alternatively, mix by hand and knead on a
lightly floured surface.) Place the dough in an oiled
bowl and turn it once or twice to coat it in oil. Cover
the bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free
place for 2 hours or in the refrigerator overnight.

FOR THE PIZZA: If the dough was refrigerated, let the
dough sit at room temperature for about an hour before
shaping.

Set the oven @ 500ºF/260ºC.

Place a 14" cast-iron pan into the oven to preheat while
you prepare your other ingredients.

Add the sausage to a medium pan over medium-high heat.
Cook, breaking it up into crumbly pieces, until browned
throughout and no longer pink, 5 to 8 minutes. Set
aside.

Flour a work surface and rolling pin, then roll out the
dough to a 14" round.

Remove the cast-iron pan from the oven and drizzle with
3 tablespoons of the olive oil to coat. Carefully place
the dough into the pan and push the edges up against the
side of the pan. Drizzle the dough with the remaining 3
tablespoons olive oil. Top with the tomato sauce in an
even layer. Then, sprinkle on the kale, sausage,
mozzarella, grated Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest and some
salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Bake until the
crust is golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool
slightly, then slice and serve straight from the pan!
