Gluten-Free Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Pizza

Ingredients:

For the Gluten-Free Pizza Crust:

• 2 cups gluten-free pizza flour (your preferred brand, could be Schar, King Arthur, or another brand)
• 1 cup warm water (around 110°F)
• 1 packet instant yeast (approximately 2 1/4 teaspoons)
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup butternut squash, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the butternut squash slices with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes until tender and lightly browned. Remove from oven and set aside.
2. In a skillet over medium-low heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced onions. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are deeply caramelized. Add in the balsamic vinegar and cook for another 2 minutes. Set aside.
3. To make the pizza dough, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Wait for the mixture to become frothy.
4. Add the gluten-free pizza flour and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Drizzle in the olive oil and knead until the dough is smooth.
5. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. Then, spread it out on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Top the prepared pizza dough with mozzarella cheese, spreading it out evenly.
7. Add the roasted butternut squash slices and caramelized onions on top of the cheese.
8. Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and chopped rosemary.
9. Bake the pizza in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for about 12-15 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Once removed from the oven, you can add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired.
11. Slice the pizza, serve, and enjoy!
