– 1 egg yolk for an egg wash, mixed with a bit of the turmeric

– Fillings:

1. Classic Margherita Filling:

– For Assembly:
– Small pieces of pretzel sticks (for pumpkin stems) 🥨
– Fresh basil leaves 🌿

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough:
– Mix the flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl.
– Add warm water and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes).
– Cover and let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. Prepare the Fillings:
– Classic Margherita: Mix the tomato sauce with basil and oregano.
– Tuna-Corn: Mix the tomato sauce, tuna, corn, and onions.
– Pesto & Feta: Crumble feta and keep it separate.

3. Assemble the Pumpkin Pizza Balls:
– Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper (a pizza stone or pizza oven, if available, works great).
– Divide the dough into 15-18 small balls.
– Flatten each dough ball into a circle, add a spoonful of filling in the center, then seal tightly.
– Roll each filled dough ball in your hands to form a smooth ball.

4. Shape into Pumpkins 🎃:
– Lightly oil kitchen string and tie each ball to create ridges that mimic a pumpkin shape.
– Mix turmeric powder with a tiny bit of water or egg wash and brush over the balls for a vibrant orange color.

5. Bake:
– Place the balls on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
– Let them cool slightly, then gently remove the string.
– Insert a small piece of pretzel stick as the pumpkin stem and add a basil leaf 🌿.

6. Serve and Enjoy! 🍂
