Directions
- Place the flour in a large bowl and stir in the salt, sugar and yeast. Make a well in the centre then pour in warm water and La Española Mild & Light Olive Oil. Mix to form soft dough.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 6 minutes. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 200C. Brush a large baking sheet with La Española Mild & Light Olive Oil, then roll the dough out on the baking sheet into a rectangle measuring approx. 35 x 25 cm.
- For the topping, heat the Mild & Light Olive Oil over a medium heat, add the onion, and cook for 3-4 minutes until soft and silky. Add the butternut squash and cook for 5 minutes until it starts to caramelise. Stir in the capsicum and vinegar. Season well and cook for 2 minutes.
- Spread the tomato purée over the dough and top with the butternut squash mixture. Sprinkle over the smoked paprika and drizzle with any remaining oil from the pan.
- Cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dough is crispy and golden on top.
- Drizzle with a little La Española Extra Virgin Olive Oil Medium Flavour and serve with a side salad. Enjoy!
