Ingredients
- olive oil for brushing
- cornmeal optional
- 1 pound fresh pizza dough store-bought or homemade
- ½ cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1 cup 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¾ cup thinly sliced zucchini ⅛-inch thick about 22 slices
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasonings
- kosher salt as needed for seasoning
- black pepper as needed for seasoning
- red pepper flakes for garnish, optional
- shaved Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- If using store-bought pizza dough, allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Set the oven rack to the lower position. Preheat to 500ºF (260ºC). Lightly brush a large baking sheet with olive oil. Evenly sprinkle cornmeal on the pan if desired.
- On a lightly floured surface, stretch and shape the dough into a 10-inch circle.
- Transfer dough to the baking sheet. Use fingers to press into a 12-inch circle. Leave the edges slightly thicker, about ½-inch tall and wide.
- Brush some olive oil on the edges of the dough to make the crust crispier when baked.
- Spread the sauce on top, followed by the cheese, and zucchini. Sprinkle the Italian seasonings on top, and some salt and pepper.
- Bake the pizza on the lowest oven rack until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Sprinkle some red pepper flakes (if using) and parmesan cheese on top.
- Slice and serve pizza immediately when still hot.
