Sweet and Savory Flatbread


1 pkg. Prepared Pizza Dough
Cornmeal
1/2 recipe of Roasted Garlic Hummus
1/2 large Kabocha Squash, roasted
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. Dried Thyme
1/2 tsp. Dried Rosemary
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper
2 Leeks, sliced
1 Green Apple, julienned
Basil

For the squash:
Preheat oven to 375.
Cut squash in half.  Remove seeds and outer shell.  Cut squash into 3/4" cubes and coat with 1 tbsp. of olive oil.  Place squash in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, turning half way through.  Remove from oven.

For the leeks/apples:
Slice the leeks, using the white and light green parts only. Separate the leeks and place in a colander. Run under cold water to remove any dirt that may be caught inside. Remove the skin and core the apple. Julienne (cut into very thin slivers) the apple.
Over medium heat, heat 1 tbsp. of olive oil in a skillet. Add leeks and
saute' 8 minutes, or until softened. Add salt about half way through. Add thyme, rosemary, pepper and apples and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

For the flat bread:
Preheat oven to whatever package says (mine was 425).
Dust a baking sheet with cornmeal.
Roll out pizza dough into the shape of a rectangle to 1/2" thickness. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet. Spread Roasted Garlic Hummus over the pizza dough. Evenly distribute the roasted squash atop the pizza dough. Repeat with the leek/apple mixture. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and top with freshly torn basil.

Let the flatbread cool for 5 minutes before cutting.
