Ingredients

  • 8 oz Bacon
  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme

  • 2 cups spirlaized butternut squash

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 450º - 500º F. (As high as your oven will go.)  Let the oven heat for at least 30 minutes.*
  2. Meanwhile, dice the bacon. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, then remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel lined plate.
  3. Roll the pizza dough out on a piece of floured parchment paper. (Alternately, you can roll out on a cornmeal dusted surface.)  Roll the dough out into a large circle.
  4. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper.  Spread evenly over the pizza dough. Top with the butternut squash, then sprinkle the bacon over the top.
  5. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake until the crust is crisp, about 10 minutes.

Notes

  • *If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can coat a large baking sheet with oil and stretch the dough out on the baking sheet.  It may need to cook a few extra minutes to crisp up on the bottom.
