Roasted Butternut Squash, Pine Nut and Goat Cheese Pizza

Instructions

• 1

  To make the dough, place the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix to combine. Add the oil and water and mix on medium-low speed for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil and water and mix until the dough comes together, add an extra tablespoon of water if necessary. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.)

• 2

  Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.

• 3

  Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and punch down to remove the excess air. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Divide into three, 8¾ oz pieces.

• 4

  To make the topping, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the squash in a greased roasting pan. Spoon over 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is light golden and tender.
