Instructions
- 1To make the dough, place the flours, yeast, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix to combine. Add the oil and water and mix on medium-low speed for 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. (Alternatively, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the oil and water and mix until the dough comes together, add an extra tablespoon of water if necessary. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead for 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.)
- 2Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
- 3Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and punch down to remove the excess air. Knead the dough into a smooth ball. Divide into four, 6½ oz pieces.
- 4To make the roasted squash puree, preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the squash in a greased roasting pan. Combine the oil, rosemary and garlic, spoon over the squash and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is light golden and tender. Transfer to a bowl and mash well with a fork.
- 5To make the topping, heat a grill or grill pan on medium-high heat. Place the zucchini on a plate. Spoon over 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat. Cook the zucchini in batches for 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly charred. Set aside to cool.
- 6To make the pizza, turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position and PREHEAT the pizza oven for 15 minutes.
- 7Roll out each piece of pizza dough to form a 9-inch round and place each on a 11-inch square piece of parchment paper.
- 8Prick the crusts with a fork or pizza docker.
- 9Spread the remaining oil over the pizza crusts. Spread with ¼ cup (2½ oz) squash puree.
- 10Divide the toppings evenly among the crusts.
- 11Select the THIN crust setting.
- 12Transfer one of the pizzas (still on the parchment paper) to the hot pizza stone and close the lid. Cook for 2 minutes.
- 13Open the lid and quickly slide the parchment paper out carefully. Close the lid and cook for a further 4-6 minutes, or until browned. Monitor the cooking progress through the viewing window. Topping should be cooked and golden and crust crisp and brown.
- 14Open the lid carefully with oven mitt and transfer the pizza to a cutting board.
- 15Repeat with the remaining pizzas.
- 16Sprinkle with parmesan, drizzle with extra olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Slice and serve.
