Butternut Squash, Spinach and Goat Cheese Pizza

Ingredients for Butternut Squash, Spinach and Goat Cheese Pizza

• 450g cubed butternut squash (1/2-inch pieces)

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided

• 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided

• 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided

• 1 medium red onion, halved and thinly sliced

• 30g plain flour

• 1 ball (450g) store-bought whole-wheat pizza dough, at room temperature

• 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach

• 110g crumbled goat cheese

• 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

• 2 tablespoons cornmeal

Heat oven to 400°. Heat pizza stone on bottom rack (or use an inverted 11" x 16" biscuit sheet, not heated). Toss squash with 1 teaspoon oil, 1/8 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper. On a baking sheet, cook squash until soft and lightly browned, 25 minutes, stirring halfway through; set aside. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Cook onion (season with remaining 1/8 teaspoons salt and 1/8 teaspoons pepper), stirring, until light brown, 10 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water; cook, stirring, until brown, 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Turn oven up to 450°. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface. Press dough into a 15-inch circle or 10" x 16" rectangle. Top with squash, onion, spinach, cheese and thyme. Dust stone or inverted sheet with cornmeal; place pizza on it. Bake until crust is crispy and cheese melts, 10 to 12 minutes.
