How to make pumpkin pizza

To make the pumpkin base, you need to use pumpkin without the skin. This can be easily removed by cutting off the skin with a sharp knife. The pumpkin cubes should be cut into small cubes and boiled so that they quickly become tender. Then you can make a dough together with fiberHUSK, oatmeal, eggs and salt. The easiest way is to use a food processor, which lightly blends and kneads the dough so that it comes together into a smooth ball. If you don't have a food processor, you can start by first blending the oatmeal, fiberHUSK and salt together into fine flour. Put the flour in a bowl so that you can blend the cooked pumpkin cubes into a fine puree. Then you can add the pumpkin puree to the bowl and knead it together with your hands. The dough for pumpkin pizza is easiest to roll out between two pieces of baking paper. That way you can easily remove one piece of baking paper and move the rolled out pizza onto a baking sheet so that it can go into the oven. Start by baking the pizza without any toppings. This way it will be crispiest when you flip the pizza over and bake it bottom side up with the toppings.
