Best Pizza Ever

When you make two pizza crusts in a week, one often looks for creative toppings. This is a homemade copy of my favorite pizza.

 It includes butternut squash, bacon, feta, asparagus, and mushrooms. A bonus is that you can roast the whole squash and have the left overs ready for another recipe.

Make this pizza.
Then use your second crust to make this one. Also, no snickering at the Oktoberfest. It's delicious and I made this a long time ago, I just haven't had time to share!

The Most Delicious Pizza
Serves: 2; Total Time: 1 hour
Adapted From: Pizza Port OB
  • 1 Pizza Crust (homemade or store bought)
  • ½-¼ cup your favorite pizza sauce
  • 4 ounces Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, grated 

  • 1 Butternut Squash, chopped into 1 inch cubes
  • 3 slices Bacon, cooked and chopped 
  • 2 tablespoons Feta Cheese
  • 1 bunch Asparagus, or head Broccoli
  • 4 ounces Mushrooms, (about ½ basket) sliced
Place 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet with a top over medium heat. When butter is melted and oil is hot add butternut squash, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Stir, cover, and cook another 15 minutes or until cubes just begins to get soft. Remove to a plate then cook bacon and roughly chop. Add asparagus or chopped broccoli to the pan and roast for about 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly oil a cookie sheet with olive oil. Stretch or roll the crust to desired thickness. Place in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes to para-bake.

Spread crust with sauce then top with about ½ cup squash, chopped bacon, feta, asparagus (or broccoli), and mushrooms. Top with grated mozzarella.

Bake in preheated oven 20 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
