A delicious gluten-free pizza that’s perfect for fall!
Makes 2 medium pizzas
Ingredients:
Butternut Squash Sauce (from Minimalist Baker):
- 3 C. butternut squash, cubed
- 3 garlic cloves, whole, skin removed
- 2 T. neutral-flavored oil
- Pinch sea salt & black pepper
- 1 T. maple syrup
Pizza:
- 1 box Enjoy Life Foods Pizza Crust Mix
- 1 ½ C. broccoli, chopped
- 1/2 C. red onion, chopped
- Pinch sea salt & black pepper
- 1 t. dried oregano
- 1 C. Butternut Squash Sauce (recipe above)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400˚F
- Roast the butternut squash and garlic gloves with 1 T olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper for 15-20 minutes or until squash is tender.
- Blend squash and garlic with remaining olive oil and maple syrup until smooth and spreadable. Set aside.
- Combine Pizza Crust Mix, oil and approximately 1 1/4 cups cold water (gradually) in a medium bowl until well blended and dough forms
- Once dough forms, use hands to knead into a smooth ball, about 1-2 minutes. Use more or less water to create desired dough consistency. Split into two balls, one for each crust.
- For a thinner crust: roll out 1/2 of the dough base to approximately 1/8″ or less with a rolling pin on a floured counter (tip: use our All-Purpose Flour) and then place on an oiled baking sheet.* Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and using a fork, make indentation holes throughout before baking 8-10 minutes. For a thicker, chewier crust: roll-out to approximately ¼”. Alternatively, press the dough directly into the pizza pan*, brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Bake the crust without any toppings for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from oven and add the Butternut Squash Sauce and toppings on crust and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes
*For an even crispier crust, place the crust directly on the oven rack
