HALLOWEEN SPECIAL PIZZA

Makes :
2 pizzas

Preparation Time :
40 minutes

Cooking Time :
35 minutes

Preparation Method :

  • Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add the yeast and salt, making a small well in the top. Mix the water and oil together into the bowl and gradually combine to a sticky dough.
  • Lightly flour the work surface and knead the dough for about 10 - 12 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Knock back the dough by gently kneading for about a minute, then divide into two balls.
  • To roll out the dough, flatten each ball, roll out on a lightly floured work surface, giving a quarter turn between each roll.
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C / 425°F / Gas Mark 7. Place the pizza bases on two baking trays, using a rolling pin to transfer them from the work surface.
  • Place the pumpkin on a baking tray, drizzle over the oil and add the thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss well to coat.
  • Place in the preheated oven and roast for 10 - 12 minutes or until softened and starting to char around the edges.
  • Divide the pizza sauce between the two pizza bases, spreading almost to the edges.
  • Scatter over the pumpkin and the onion, then top with the cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melting and turning golden and the bases are crisp. Serve immediately.
