Deep Dish Skillet Pizza

Dough
1tsp light brown sugar
1/2 0.25-oz pkg dry yeast
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbsp flax meal or ground flaxseed
2 tsp olive oil (plus more for oiling bowl and skillet)
3/4 tsp salt

Topping
2 Tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves minced (1 Tbsp)
8 cups loosely packed kale
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tsp ground fennel seeds
2 Tbsp Neufchatel cheese (2 oz)
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (4 oz)12 cherry tomatoes, halved
2 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano or basil
* I did not use the items in RED!I used 1 Cup Fat Free Shredded Motzerella Cheese (4 oz), we also used turkey pepperoni and canadian bacon per Joshua's request! 

To make dough; dissolve brown sugar in 1/2 cup warm water in large bowl.  Stir in yeast, and let stand 5 minutes, or until liquid is cloudy and bubbly.  Stir in whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup all purpose flour, flaxseed, oil and salt.  Knead 2 minutes while adding remaining 1/4 cup all purpose flour.  Oil seperate bowl, and turn dough in oil to coat.  Cover, and let rise in warm spot until dough doubles in size, about 45 minutes. 
To make topping; heat oil in large pot over medium heat.  Add garlic and saute 2 minutes.  Add kale, cover, and cook stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until kale is softened.  Add mushrooms and fennel seeds and cook 7-10 minutes more, or until liquid has evaporated.  Remove from heat.  Stir in Neufchatel. 
Preheat oven to 475°F.  Oil bottom and sides of 12 inche cast iron skillet.  Pat and stretch dough with floured hands over bottom and halfway up sides of skillet.  Let dough rest 5 minutes.  Spread kale mixture on dough, scatter feta cheese, tomatoes, and oregano on top.  Place skillet directly on bottom of oven, and bake 15 minutes.  Remove carefully from oven, and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
We put the turkey pepperoni and canadian bacon on the dough (after it set for 5 minutes and before the kale mixture).
