Fall Inspired Homemade Pizza

I love the flavors of fall, so I decided to put them all on a homemade pizza!!!!!

For Pizza Dough:

1 2/3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 package of active dry yeast

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 cup warm water

Mix the flour, salt and yeast in a large mixing bowl and mix together. Make a well in the center and add the oil and water to the well and work in the dry ingredients gradually to make a soft dough. Make sure the dough isn't too dry.

Transfer the dough to a large floured surface. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, sprinkle with more flour if you need to. Do this until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Rub some olive oil over the dough and put into a medium sized mixing bowl and cover with a kitchen towel for about an hour.....it should of doubled in size.

Take the dough out of the bowl and place on a floured surface and knead again for a couple of minutes, just make sure there is no excess air in there.

Roll the dough out to the shape and size that you like.

For Pizza Topping

2 cups butternut squash, cubed into 1/2 inch pieces

1 boneless/skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon pepper divided

1 small red onion, cut in half and slice very thinly

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

4 ounces of fresh goat cheese, crumbled

2 tablespoons cornmeal

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put pizza stone on bottom rack, if you don't have a pizza stone you can use a large cookie sheet - just turn it upside down.

Toss the butternut squash with a little olive oil, salt and pepper - then put on a baking sheet and cook for about 20-25 minutes, the squash should be a little browned on top and soft. Stir half way through.

In a skillet on high to medium-high heat add a little of the olive oil and add the red onion use the remaining salt and pepper and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Turn oven up to 45o degrees.

Press out the pizza dough and top with butternut squash, spinach, red onion and goat cheese.

Dust the stone with the cornmeal and place the pizza on -top of it.

Bake the pizza until crispy, should be about 10 minutes!

Enjoy!!!!!!
