Ingredients
The pumpkin mixture:
- ½ cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix/filling)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable broth or water
- 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
The toppings:
- 2 raw Italian chicken sausages (about 6 oz. total)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ½ large yellow onion thinly sliced
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 ounces soft goat cheese (chevre) crumbled
- ¼ cup chopped raw pecans toasted in a dry skillet
The pizza:
- 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough (preferably whole wheat) brought to room temperature
- Flour for dusting
- Cornmeal for dusting pizza peel
Instructions
The pumpkin mixture:
- In a bowl, stir together the pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
The toppings:
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray.
- Squeeze the sausages out of the casings into the skillet. Discard the casings. Using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage as it cooks. Once cooked through, transfer the sausage to a bowl lined with paper towel to absorb the oil.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Return the skillet to the heat and add the olive oil.
- Add the sliced onion, salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deep golden brown. During the cooking, add water as necessary, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, to prevent the onions from burning and drying out. Be sure that all of the water is absorbed before removing from the heat.
- Stir in the sage and balsamic vinegar. Remove from the heat.
The pizza:
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Place a pizza stone in the oven to heat for 10 minutes. If using a baking sheet, grease with avocado or canola oil.
- Dust the countertop or large cutting board with flour. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll the pizza dough into a large circle (about 12 inches).
- If using a pizza stone to cook the pizza, transfer the dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal. If using a baking sheet, place the dough on the oiled baking sheet.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture on the crust, almost to the edge.
- Top with the cooked sausage, caramelized onions and crumbled goat cheese.
- Transfer the pizza from the pizza peel to the heated pizza stone (or place the baking sheet in the oven).
- Cook until the crust is light golden brown and firm when tapped, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the toasted pecans over the other toppings. Cut the pizza into 6 slices. Serve.
