It’s the first day of Autumn and what better way to kick off the season of pumpkin-everything with a roast pumpkin and caramelised onion pizza?! There’s something so comforting and rewarding about homemade pizza… and it’s so much better for you than take away. This pizza is a little bit more fancy than your typical Domino’s… it does require the extra step of roasting the pumpkin but let me tell you it’s totally worth it. I love how the sweetness of the pumpkin and the onion is cut through with the salty feta – so good. Did I mention it has three kinds of cheese? I went with a blend of mozzarella and cheddar that I found in Woolies for the base. You can’t have a pizza without that classic cheese pull you get from mozzarella! The cheddar brings the classic cheesiness we all love, and like I said the feta is like little pops of saltiness to balance everything out. Yum!

Ah homemade dough… the bane of my existence. I never seem to be able to get it how I want it, does that happen to you guys too? I’ve always been a ‘thin and crispy’ gal, but my pizzas seem to come out more ‘classic crust’. If you prefer to just skip all the fuss and go with a store-bought dough I don’t blame you.

When I make it myself I just follow a pretty standard recipe. It involves flour, water, instant yeast, olive oil and salt. I do enjoy making pizza dough because you don’t have to knead it as much as pasta and it’s a lot softer and fun to play with!
