Serves: 8
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
- 2 rolls of refrigerated pizza dough
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- In a small bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, light brown sugar, pumpkin spice and cinnamon
- Roll out the pizza dough and cut out 4 circles, 2 from each roll, all the same size. I used a paper plate for my template.
- Place a circle onto the parchment paper and spread ⅓ of the pumpkin mixture evenly over the dough
- Continue to layer the dough with the pumpkin mixture two more times and finish with the 4th circle on top
- Place a cup, upside down in the center of the dough
- Make cuts from the outside of the edge of the cup to the outer edge of the dough at 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock
- Cut each of these into four pieces for a total of 16 pieces
- Take two pieces that are side by side, fold them away from each other twice and then pinch the ends to seal them together. Repeat for remaining pieces
- Brush the top of the dough with milk and sprinkle with granulated sugar (optional)
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown
