Categories     Main Course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz Zucchini ((about 2 cups grated coarsely, packed loosely into the measuring cup))
3 large Eggs
1 cup Mozzarella cheese ((shredded; use either pre-shredded or hard mozzarella from a block, *not* soft fresh))
1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp Sea salt ((plus a little more for sprinkling in step 2))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a 12- or 14-inch non-stick pizza pan. (30 or 36 cm) (Use parchment paper if it's not excellent non-stick.)
  • Spread out the grated zucchini onto the pan in a thin layer. Sprinkle very lightly with a little sea salt (not 1/2 tsp, this is just a light sprinkle). Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until zucchini is semi-soft and fairly dry.
  • Meanwhile, combine the eggs, mozzarella, coconut flour and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a large bowl.
  • When the zucchini is done, pat the dry as well as possible with paper towels. Mix into the bowl.
  • Lightly wipe down the pizza pan to get rid of any stuck on zucchini. If it's not very good non-stick, line with parchment paper. Grease the pan or parchment paper.
  • Spread the zucchini pizza dough into a thin circle, about 11-12 in (28-30 cm) in diameter. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until there are brown spots on the top. (The time will depend on the thickness of the zucchini pizza crust.)
  • Remove the zucchini pizza crust from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and let it preheat.
  • Let the crust rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, then top with thick sauce and toppings.
  • Return the zucchini crust pizza to the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese on top melts. If desired, place under broiler for a couple minutes to brown the cheese.
