This Pumpkin and Gouda Pizza features a creamy pumpkin puree base topped with shredded Gouda cheese, creating a deliciously rich and flavorful pizza. The crust is brushed with olive oil for a golden finish, and optional fresh herbs like sage or rosemary add a burst of earthy flavor, making it a perfect fall meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Gouda cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Fresh herbs like sage or rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough:

    • Preheat your oven according to the instructions for your pizza dough, typically around 475°F (245°C).
    • If using store-bought dough, allow it to come to room temperature before stretching. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
  • Assemble the Pizza:

    • Place the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Spread the pumpkin puree evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
    • Sprinkle the shredded Gouda cheese evenly over the pumpkin puree.
    • Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil to help them turn golden and crispy during baking.
  • Bake the Pizza:

    • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • If using, sprinkle fresh herbs like sage or rosemary over the pizza right before serving.
  • Serve:

    • Slice the pizza and serve hot, optionally garnished with additional fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella or fontina for a different flavor profile.
  • For a more savory twist, add caramelized onions or sautéed mushrooms as toppings.
  • To enhance the flavor, consider drizzling a bit of balsamic glaze over the finished pizza.
