PUMPKIN PUREE PIZZA

Instructions for 5 Dough Balls:

1. Prepare the Dough: 

• In a large bowl, add half the remaining flour and the yeast mixture (water + yeast) and mix well. 
• Then add the salt and remaining flour. 
• Dump the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes. 
• Drizzle the bottom of the bowl with olive oil, place the dough back into the bowl, and dash a bit more olive oil on top.

 2. Let the Dough Rise: 

• Cover the bowl with a dishcloth and set it in the sun or another warm place for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in size — whichever comes first.

 3. Divide the Dough: 

• Divide the bulk-proofed dough into five 250-gram or four 330-gram pieces. 
• Ball up the dough, ensuring the tops of the balls are smooth. 
• Brush each ball with olive oil or warm water, cover with a dishcloth, and rest in a warm place for 15 to 20 minutes, or until doubled in size.

Instructions for Toppings:

1. Prepare the Pumpkin Puree: 

• Slice one pumpkin in half, put it on a baking plate covered with baking paper, and put it into the home oven for 30 minutes until it’s soft and it starts to peel off. 
• When baked, peel it off (carefully) and slice it. 
• Take a food processor and mix the pumpkin with 1 tbsp spoon of cooking cream to the desired consistency, if you want to be more runny add some water.

 2. Prepare the Hot Honey: 

• Take hot honey and put it on to low heat until melted in between chop the chilies on small pieces and mix it up with the melted honey. 
• When mixed put it aside to cool down or until you use it.

 3. Assemble the Pizza: 

• Preheat your Glowen Pizza Oven to 450°C or 842°F (measure it on the middle of the stone with an Glowen IR thermometer). 
• Take the dough out, spread it to the desired size (preferably 30cm or 12”), and spread pumpkin puree all over the pizza (leave empty a bit on the edge for a nice crust). 
• Put on mozzarella or fior di latte and put the pizza into the oven. 
• In the oven, you wait a few seconds so the bottom gets warm and you can safely turn the pizza. 
• You bake it for 30 sec on each turn, or until the crust gets golden brown (not black)!

 4. Finish the Pizza: 

• When pizza is baked you take it out and spread pork rinds all over the pizza and drizzle with hot honey. 
• For the end, you put some basil leaves, and the pizza is done!
