For the Crust

  • 0.5 cups cold unsalted butter chilled
  • 1 pinch salt to enhance flavor
For the Filling
  • 2 cups winter squash butternut or acorn
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese optional
For Assembly
  • 1 beaten egg egg wash optional; for golden sheen
  • 1 pinch coarse salt for topping

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Pastry Cutter
  • Oven
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and slice the winter squash into thin wedges. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, and salt. Spread on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
  3. Combine roasted squash with thyme and Parmesan in a mixing bowl, gently tossing to coat.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Transfer to a lined baking sheet.
  5. Spoon the roasted squash filling onto the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over the filling and brush with egg wash or plant-based milk.
  6. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Watch edges to prevent over-browning.
  7. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
