Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large (or 2 small-medium) yellow onion, peeled and sliced
- 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 16 oz. fresh pizza dough, room temperature
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 5 oz. freshly grated gouda cheese (about 1 1/4 cups)
- Optional: finely chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Caramelize the onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the sliced onions and let them cook, stirring occasionally until golden brown, about 15–20 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, then cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Prepare the dough: Dust your work surface with flour or semolina and roll or stretch your dough into a round shape.
- Spread the pumpkin puree evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about an inch around the edges for the crust.
- Spoon the caramelized onion and garlic mixture on top of the pumpkin.
- Sprinkle the freshly grated gouda cheese over the entire pizza.
- Bake your pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, then let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Great served with a side salad and a drizzle of balsamic reduction for added flavor.
