Pumpkin Flatbread Pizza Recipe:

Ingredients:
For the Flatbread Base:

• 1 store-bought flatbread or pizza crust
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup Pumpkin Hummus (refer to the previous blog for the recipe)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
• 1/2 cup diced red onions
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (choose your favorite colors)
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:** Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Flatbread:** Place the flatbread or pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush it lightly with olive oil, which not only adds flavor but also helps to achieve a golden, crispy crust.
3. Spread the Pumpkin Hummus:** Take your homemade Pumpkin Hummus and spread it evenly over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
4. Add the Cheese:** Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the Pumpkin Hummus layer. This creamy, melty goodness will help hold all your toppings together.
5. Top It Off:** Now, let your creativity shine. Scatter the diced red onions, bell peppers, and sliced black olives over the cheese. These colorful veggies will add a pop of flavor and visual appeal to your pizza.
6. Feta Finish:** Crumble the feta cheese on top of the vegetables. Feta's tangy, salty notes perfectly complement the sweetness of the pumpkin.
7. Season to Taste:** For that final touch, add a pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper to enhance the overall flavor profile.
8. Into the Oven:** Carefully slide your pizza into the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the flatbread are golden and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
9. Garnish and Serve:** Once out of the oven, you can garnish your Pumpkin Flatbread Pizza with fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness and fragrance. Slice it up and serve immediately.
10. Enjoy:** Gather around the table and savor the delicious flavors of fall as you bite into a slice of your Pumpkin Flatbread Pizza. The creamy Pumpkin Hummus base adds a unique twist that perfectly complements the savory toppings, making each bite a celebration of the autumn season.

Pumpkin Hummus isn't just a delightful dip; it's also the perfect base for a Pumpkin Flatbread Pizza that captures the essence of fall on your plate. The velvety hummus pairs beautifully with the savory and slightly sweet combination of toppings, creating a unique and mouthwatering culinary experience. So, when you're looking to impress your friends and family with a seasonal dish, consider serving up this delightful pizza. Your taste buds will thank you!
