Ingredients

  1. 1 cup (140 grams) whole wheat flour
  2. 1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour
  3. 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  4. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  5. 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes
  6. 1/2 cup (60 grams) grated extra old white Cheddar
  7. 1 large egg
  8. 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) milk
  9. 1/2 small butternut squash (about 400 grams), peeled and seeded
  10. 2 small red onions
  11. 3 garlic cloves, skin on
  12. 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
  13. 1 teaspoon curry powder, optional
  14. Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  15. 2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  16. 2 tablespoon finely chopped sage or rosemary
  17. 1 cup grated extra old white Cheddar
  18. 1 large or 2 tart small apples
  19. 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  20. Egg wash
  21. Flaky salt, optional

Instructions

  1. For the pastry: Combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add in the butter and, using the tips of your finger, pinch and snap the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs and the butter pieces are no larger than a pea. Toss in the cheese.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk, then add to the flour mixture and stir just until combined and the dough will hold together when squeezed in your palm. Turn the pastry out and knead a few times to bring together. Wrap in plastic and transfer to the fridge to chill for at least 1 hour or up to 1 day.
  3. Arrange your oven rack to the lowest position and heat the oven to 475 degrees F.
  4. For the filling: Peel and thinly slice the squash and cut the onions into thin wedges. Transfer to a baking sheet along with the garlic cloves. Pour over the melted butter and season with the curry powder if using, salt and pepper. Roast just until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  5. Roll the pastry out to about 1/4 inch thick and transfer to a sheet of parchment paper. Spread the Dijon over the pastry. Retrieve the roasted garlic from the cooled vegetables, remove their skins, and smash and spread the garlic over the pastry. Scatter with sage or rosemary and about 3/4 cup of the cheese.
  6. Core and cut the apples into 1/4-inch wedges and add to the roasted veg along with the walnuts. Spread the apples and veg over the pastry and arrange into a slightly flattened pile. Fold the edges of the pastry up and over some of the filling to form a crust and transfer to a sheet pan. Scatter with the remaining 1/4 cup of the cheese, brush the edges of the pastry with egg wash and scatter with flaky salt, if using.
  7. Bake on the bottom rack of your oven until golden and crisp, 35 to 40 minutes.

This is a question. Do you keep the temp at 475 for 35-40 minutes to bake the pizza? I wondered if you are supposed to lower the oven after you roast the veggies.

I made this last night and it is fantastic!! I didnt have any whole wheat flour but, did have rye flour so I used that in place of the whole wheat and omitted the walnuts ( can’t have them ) The crust comes out so flakey and the flavors are wonderful. Definitely use the curry powder as it gives it such a good flavor. My husband said it is a definite make again!! Thanks Mary for another great recipe!!

Loved it! I used cup 4 cup gluten free flour and it turned out flakey and buttery like a regular crust. I wasn’t sure about the apple squash combo but it was delicious. Definitely will make it again.
