Delicious best autumn pizza recipe recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Pizza dough: 1 pound
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Butternut squash puree: 1 cup
  • Fresh sage leaves: 1 tablespoon, chopped
  • Fontina cheese: 4 ounces, shredded
  • Prosciutto: 3 ounces, thinly sliced
  • Red onion: 1/2 medium, thinly sliced
  • Balsamic glaze: 1 tablespoon

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
  2. Step 2: On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired shape and thickness.
  3. Step 3: Brush the dough with olive oil. Spread the butternut squash puree evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded Fontina cheese over the butternut squash puree. Distribute the sliced red onion and chopped sage evenly over the cheese.
  5. Step 5: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Step 6: Remove the pizza from the oven. Arrange the prosciutto slices on top of the pizza. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For the crispiest reheated pizza, use a skillet over medium heat rather than the microwave.
  • A sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds adds a delightful crunch and extra autumn flavor when serving.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings; the butternut squash and Fontina shine best when they're not crowded!
