Ingredients
Scale
- 13.8 oz refrigerated pizza dough
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup ricotta cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3 tbsp fresh chopped sage
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press it out into a rectangle or oval shape, about ¼-inch thick.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, ricotta cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth.
- Spread the pumpkin-ricotta mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pumpkin mixture.
- Evenly distribute the chopped fresh sage over the mozzarella.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of salt and pepper to the pumpkin ricotta mixture.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or rosemary instead of sage.
- Add caramelized onions, roasted garlic, bacon, or prosciutto for extra flavor.
- Consider swapping mozzarella for provolone, fontina, or goat cheese.
- Top with fresh arugula after baking for a peppery contrast.
