Pizza con zucca voilina, cipolla rossa, cavolo nero, Dolcelatte e noci
Butternut Squash, Red Onion, Cavolo Nero & Dolcelatte Pizza With Walnuts
About This Recipe
Are you looking for a delicious butternut squash recipe with a difference? If you are, you’ve found it! Here’s my butternut squash, red onion, cavolo nero & dolcelatte pizza with walnuts for you to enjoy.
I wanted to try something different from a traditional pizza topping and I’m glad I did, as this pizza is delicious. The sweetness of the butternut squash works perfectly with the earthy cavolo nero, and the walnuts give added texture. When making this pizza for my vegan friends, I use a little tomato pizza sauce on the base and pile on all the other toppings minus the Dolcelatte. Serve with a green salad.

Step By Step
- To make the dough, put the flour in a large bowl. Add the yeast to one side of the bowl and the salt to the other. Make a well in the centre and add the oil then gradually pour in 280ml of warm water.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon, mix together thoroughly to create a wet dough. Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Shape the dough into a round and place in a large oiled bowl. Brush the top with a little oil and cover with cling film. Leave to rest at room temperature for 20–25 minutes.
- Brush 4 baking sheets with oil and set aside. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
- Meanwhile, make the topping. Place the butternut squash, onions, 3 tablespoons of the oil and half the oregano in a roasting tin, about 20 x 30cm. Season with salt and pepper. Mix together well with your hands, ensuring everything is evenly coated in the oil. Roast for 25 minutes then set aside. Increase the oven temperature to 220ºC/gas mark 7.
