Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 13" x 18" non-stick baking sheet, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, part skim ricotta cheese, and garlic powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  4. Spread the pumpkin-ricotta mixture over the rolled-out dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the finely shredded mozzarella cheese over the pumpkin-ricotta layer, followed by freshly chopped sage.
  6. Place the prepared flatbread in your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts and crust turns golden-brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing with a pizza cutter.

Notes

Watch the cheese while baking to ensure it doesn't over-brown. Customize flavors with toppings like caramelized onions or bacon. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven for crispiness.
