Squash, Goat Cheese, Onion Pizza

Combine the yeast & 1/2 cup 110 degree water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes (it should expand). Add rest of water & oil to this mixture. Combine with flour & salt. Knead dough 7-8 minutes. Spray a bowl with cooking spray & place dough into bowl. Cover with plastic wrap & allow to rise 75 minutes (until double in size). Once finished rising, spread out on baking pan in whatever shape you desire.

While the dough is rising, cut acorn squash into chunks and bake at 400 degrees until squash is cooked & you can work with it. Place squash into a food processor & work for about a minute. Add blue bonnet, milk, and salt & pepper (to taste). Continue in the food processor until you have the consistency of pizza sauce.

Chop the onions so that they are in rings. Saute them in a pan until they are caramelized by their natural sugars.

Spread your acorn squash sauce across uncooked pizza crust. Evenly spread the caramelized onions across your pizza. Next, place goat cheese, in chunks, all over pizza. Add some salt & pepper. Lastly, sprinkle parmesan cheese across the top of your pizza.

Bake pizza at 400 degrees for 40-50 minutes, depending on your oven. Remove & enjoy. This serves four people.
