Completely unique and a must try!

I'm still in love with homemade pizza, and this recipe truly astounded us with its amazing-ness. This pizza was simply...mind boggling. It almost leaves me speechless it's just that tasty. The flavor combinations are completely unique and you really must try this pizza. I could eat this every day and be happy. :)

Apple, Brie and Sausage Pizza on a Pumpkin Crust

Ingredients:

Pumpkin Pizza Dough
1 Tbsp yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (~110 F), divided
1/3 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 tsp salt
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
3 cups bread flour (I needed at least another cup of flour to keep the dough from being too sticky)
1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree

Pizza (cut these quantities in half if you're making one pizza)
4 apples
8 oz brie
4 spicy Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix together the yeast, 3/4 cup warm water, and brown sugar. Let sit for about five minutes or until it starts foaming.

While the yeast is proofing, in a small saucepan, combine butter, salt, and the remaining 3/4 cup water. Heat until the butter melts. Let it cool until warm, but not hot. Pour butter mixture into the yeast mixture and then into the bowl of a stand mixer.

Mix the pumpkin puree into the yeast and butter mixtures. Mix in the bread flour. Using the bread hook attachment, mix the dough on speed 2 for 10 minutes. Add enough flour so that after a minute of mixing, the dough sticks more to the hook than to the sides of the bowl. The dough should be a little sticky.

Cover the bowl of the stand mixer with a damp paper towel and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about one hour.

Preheat oven to 500.

After the dough has risen risen, cut off half of it. Sprinkle the half with flour and mold it into a ball. Place on a clean surface that’s covered in flour and roll out to a desired thickness. Place on a pizza pan. Bake for 3-4 minutes and remove from the oven.

Meanwhile, cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling it up using a spatula.

Cut apples into thin slices. Layer onto pizza. Next layer slices of brie onto the pizza. Sprinkle with turkey sausage.

Put in the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes or until bottom of dough is starting to get brown.Notes: I froze one portion of the dough for future use, and I successfully refrigerated the other one for a day before making the pizza.
