ROASTED PUMPKIN PIZZA with ASPARAGUS, ROCKET & GOATS FETTA

I make this one a lot to keep my vego friends happy when having a pizza party, but invariably the carnivores end up devouring it also!

My pizza dough recipe is slightly different to the one posted on this site. I use….

- 1 kg strong bread/pizza flour

- 1 tbs salt

- 2 x 7gm sachets dry yeast

- 1 tbs honey

- 4 tbs olive oil

- 650ml luke warm water

Add honey, olive oil and yeast to the water, stir well and let stand for 5 mins or until a generous foam appears on top of water.

Sift flour and salt into a large bowl.

Make a well in flour and slowly pour in water/yeast mixture.

Using a spoon gradually bring in more flour from the sides swirling into the liquid. Keep mixing till the dough comes together, tip onto bench and knead by hand. Let rest, covered in a warm spot till dough ball doubles in size.

Knead again and roll into balls. I make mine 200gms.

Makes 6-8 pizza dough balls and freezes really well.

ROAST PUMPKIN

- ¼ Jap Pumpkin thinly sliced

- 1 tbs dried Italian herbs

- 1 tsp ground fennel

- 1 tsp ground cumin

- ½ tsp ground coriander

- ½ tsp chilli flakes

- Olive oil

Mix herbs, spices and enough oil to make a loose paste. Toss pumpkin through mixture until well coated. Roast in a Moderate oven until soft.

This can be done up to a day ahead and kept in the fridge.

THE PIZZA!

Take 1 pizza base and spread with pesto (store bought is fine)

Arrange a layer of your roast pumpkin

Then arrange trimmed and blanched Asparagus Spears

Crumble Goat’s Fetta over the top (Meredith Dairy is suburb)

Sprinkle a handful of Pine Nuts… & into the oven.

Drizzle a little olive oil over some Rocket and scatter over the pizza when it’s cooked. Garnish with fresh Mint leaves.
