Pizza today

I ate lunch with a couple of librarians at Wolfgang Puck yesterday and realized today that I had everything I needed to rip off the pizza we had: caramelized onions with butternut squash and goat cheese. The whole time I was eating the pizza at the restaurant, I could smell garlic being cooked in oil wafting in from the kitchen. I could almost TASTE it on my pizza, but then, when I bit down, no garlicky oil. SO, I fixed that on my version.

This is just a basic wet pizza dough. I baked the crust brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt until it was about 3/4 of the way cooked. Then I added the béchamel (flavored with rosemary and a bay leaf that I strained out), goat cheese, caramelized onions, pan cooked butternut squash chunks, and roasted butternut squash seeds. I put the whole thing back in the oven to cook the rest of the way. Meanwhile, I sliced a clove of garlic into paper-thin slices and cooked them in a few tablespoons of olive oil and some salt, just until soft. As soon as I took the pizza out, I poured the garlic oil over everything.

The greens are just Trader Joe's micro greens with olive oil, salt, and lemon juice.
