Brussels Sprouts, Butternut Squash and Pancetta Pizza
- 1/2 pounds Brussels Sprouts
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, Minced
- 1/4 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 10 ounces, weight Butternut Squash, Cubed
- 2 ounces, weight Pancetta
- 1/2 pounds Pizza Dough
- 4 ounces, weight Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
- 2 ounces, weight Parmesan Cheese, Grated
- Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough directions (I set mine at 450 F for this pizza).
- Clean the Brussels sprouts by running them under water, then peeling away the outer leaves from each.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the bottom stem off each, then peel apart all of the leaves to use for the pizza.
- Dry the leaves with a paper towel.
- Add the Brussels sprouts leaves to a bowl and toss them with the olive oil, garlic, salt and ground black pepper.
- Set them aside.
- Add the butter into a skillet over medium heat.
- When melted, add the cubed butternut squash.
- Cook for several minutes, so the pieces begin to turn color and soften.
- During the last minute of cooking, add the pancetta to the skillet and carefully stir to mix.
- Remove from the heat.
- Form the pizza dough into a circle, according to your preferred pizza size and thickness.
- Place it on a baking pan.
- Bake for 3-5 minutes, then remove it from the oven.
- Sprinkle the pizza dough with the mozzarella cheese, add the butternut squash and pancetta, then top with the Brussels sprouts.
- Bake for about 10 minutes (or according to the pizza dough directions), or until the dough turns golden and the Brussels sprouts begin to crisp slightly.
- Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to cool slightly.
- Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, slice and serve.
