Description
When the air turns crisp and cozy, nothing feels better than a warm slice of savory pumpkin pizza. Creamy pumpkin puree, golden caramelized onions, and bubbly Havarti melt together on a rustic crust for a fall dinner that smells like comfort and tastes like magic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ready-to-bake pizza dough
- 1.5 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, diced
- ½ tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups freshly grated Havarti cheese
- 1 cup arugula
- Extra virgin olive oil for cooking and drizzling
Instructions
- Warm olive oil in a skillet over medium low. Add half the onions and stir occasionally. Sprinkle in the sugar and cook until golden and soft.
- In a bowl, stir together pumpkin puree, garlic, shallot, thyme, the remaining uncooked onions, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stretch or roll your dough into a circle to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly across the dough. Top with caramelized onions, arugula, and grated Havarti.
- Bake until crust is golden and cheese bubbles, about 12 minutes or longer if you prefer extra crisp. Slice hot and serve immediately.
Notes
Use a pizza stone for extra crunch, or a baking sheet if that’s what you have. Caramelize all the onions for more sweetness. Adjust bake time depending on how crisp you like your crust.
