Roasted Butternut Squash and Caramelized Onion Pizza with Gorgonzola and Crispy Fried Sage

The Daring Bakers pizza dough recipe made quite a lot of dough and I baked a second pizza soon after the first. The dough keeps in the fridge for a few days and even longer in the freezer. I wanted to do something more seasonal for the next pizza and I remembered seeing a few recipes around the food blogging sphere that combined butternut squash and caramelized onions. That combo sounded like a nice start for a pizza. I thought that using a tangy blue cheese, say gorgonzola would complement the sweet roasted squash and caramelized onions nicely. I also like the squash and sage combo so I decided to finish the pizza off with some crispy butter fried sage. The pizza turned out really well. I enjoyed the way that the blue cheese worked on a pizza and how it went with the butternut squash.

Ingredients:
2 cups butternut squash (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion (sliced)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
1 tablespoon butter
1 handful sage leaves
1 pizza dough
1 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
1/4 cup gorgonzola (crumbled)

Directions:
1. Toss the butternut squash with the olive oil.
2. Roast the squash in a preheated 350F oven until tender, about 30-40 minutes and set aside.
3. Heat the oil and melt the butter in a pan.
4. Add the onion and cook on low until caramelized, about 40-60 minutes.
5. Add the garlic and saute for a few minutes and set aside.
6. Melt the butter in a pan.
7. Add the sage leaves and saute until crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Spread the onions over the pizza dough followed by the butternut squash and the cheeses.
9. Bake in a preheated 500F oven until golden brown on top, about 5-10 minutes.
10. Place the sage leaves on top.
