They really weren't kidding when they said necessity is the mother of invention because that is how I discovered this pizza.

I had some leftover pizza dough in the fridge, some roasted butternut squash, and some already chopped onion. I needed to use them up! So, in a desperate attempt not to waste anything, I came up with this pizza (or, flatbread).

It really was a game of what flavors will work well with this? The fridge is almost always stocked with goodies but this time... there were only leftovers.

So, off to work! I grabbed some brussel sprouts and roasted them in the oven with some olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sautéed the onions and cooked some bacon.

I was a little worried I wouldn't have enough flavor in this pizza but - I used what I had!

Turns out, this pizza had an incredible amount of flavor! It was incredible and has basically become my new favorite pizza. I don't always put the bacon on it just because sometimes I don't want any meat.

So, if you're looking for a vegetarian option, just leave off the bacon and this pizza is still just as good!

Quite easily! First, make your pizza dough.

While your pizza dough is rising, roast the butternut squash and the brussel sprouts.

Now, on a heavily floured surface, stretch the crust out with your hands to about an ¼ inch thick. You can also use a rolling pin if you want a smoother looking dough.

Pour 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over the crust and spread it. Top with grated parmesan cheese.

Add the butternut squash and brussel sprouts next! Sprinkle onions and bacon on top.

Place in the oven and bake for about 5-10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. Take out of the oven and top with goat cheese. Slice and serve!

can you freeze flatbread

This is sort of a yes and no question. You can freeze the baked crust but you can't freeze it once the toppings are added. If you want to keep your flatbread, wrap it in foil and place it in the fridge. It'll last for a few days.
