butternut squash flatbread.

This past week was spent in Northern California, coordinating a wedding and spending time with friends. During the rehearsal dinner, the mother of the groom mentioned that she looked for the butternut squash flatbread recipe on my blog and had trouble finding it. She happens to be one of the sweetest, most kind women I have met, and it was so fun to sit over dinner and chat about great food. She has had quite her training in the kitchen, cooking for four boys and a husband. In her honor, I am re-posting this recipe. Also, you should check out her blog here.

I have made this so many times, and it always wins over the crowds, even the picky eaters.

Butternut Squash Flatbread

Make it square or make it round...

Butternut Squash Flatbread

Premade pizza dough (trader joes has it for $1!), or homemade (recipe here)
1 cup cooked, cubed butternut squash, or roasted sweet potatoes!
1/2 cup sliced red onion
1/2 cup of sunflower seeds or pine nuts
1 teaspoon chopped garlic or garlic salt
Italian seasonings to taste!
2 Tablespoons olive oil

Use either the whole trader joes dough or half of the homemade recipe, and spread on a well greased cookie sheet or a cornmealed pizza stone.
Mix all of the remaining ingredients. Spread on the dough.
Cover entire flatbread with 1 Cup of cheese (most varieties work, i use cheddar most often)
Drizzle with olive oil.
Bake at 400degrees for about 15 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.  Easy. And phenomenal.

Enjoy Joyce!

Roasted Sweet Potatoes or Butternut Squash works great!

Round!
