butternut squash + bokchoy breakfast pizza

 

when the crisp days of fall roll around, we do a lot more cooking at home. weekends included! one of my favourite things to cook together is pizza & flatbreads. i like to call this recipe a flatbread over pizza because i feel like you can include a lot more (not so traditional) ingredients on a flatbread. this recipe is inspired by my favourite chinese vegetable: bok choy. it features various flavours often found in asian cooking, such as sesame, garlic & soy. it also incorporates the must have ingredient of fall: butternut squash. i can't get enough butternut squash this time of year. i topped each flatbread with a fried egg because then it is considered breakfast, am i right? & who wouldn't want this for breakfast!

to keep things extra simple, i use angelic bakehouse's flatzza buddy crust. it is like a cross between a pizza crust & a flatbread. the buddy crust is the new personal size version of angelic bakehouse's popular flatzza crust. justin & i love using the flatzza crust for an impromtu pizza party, so i am pretty excited about the new personal size version. you can eat the whole thing to yourself & top it with whatever you like (i am talking to you pineapple pizza lovers). lastly, this crust is good for you too, as it is made with sprouted whole grains. it is one of those recipes that you don't have to wait until friday night to induldge in!
