1
Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in a large bowl; set aside until liquid starts to bubble and foam, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in oil. Add flour and salt, stirring until dough is smooth; stir in more flour as needed.
2
Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes and place in a large bowl; cover bowl with a damp towel. Allow dough to rise for 20 to 30 minutes. Place dough on a pizza stone and roll out with a rolling pin. ( and if you don't have a pizza stone, get one. or just rolled the dough into whatever shape pizza you feel comfortable with.)
3
In a large sauce pan heat oil and add carrots, celery, red onion, and butternut squash and cook until caramelized.
4
Add honey. Deglaze with apple cider vinegar and while constantly stirring add the heavy cream.
5
Let simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

I topped mine with charred Collard greens, Havarti cheese, portabello mushrooms and garnished with freshly cracked black pepper, but feel free to spice yours up any way you want.
