Description

Imagine a pizza crust that defies expectations, offering a delightful chewiness without the heaviness of traditional dough. This innovative base starts with fresh zucchini, its mild flavor forming the foundation for a truly unique experience. The zucchini, carefully shredded and drained to remove excess moisture, ensures the crust achieves the perfect texture.

Sharp cheddar cheese is incorporated, lending a tangy counterpoint to the zucchini's subtle sweetness and contributing to a satisfying, almost bread-like consistency. Coconut flour provides structure and a hint of delicate flavor that complements the other ingredients beautifully. A touch of Italian seasoning enhances the savory notes, creating a familiar and comforting aroma as it bakes.

The preparation is simple: combine the zucchini, cheese, egg, coconut flour, and seasoning, then press the mixture into your desired pizza shape. A crucial step is pre-baking the crust, allowing it to firm up and develop a golden-brown hue before adding your favorite toppings. This prevents a soggy pizza and ensures each slice holds its shape perfectly.

This recipe yields a generous pizza crust, ideal for sharing with friends and family. Consider dividing the crust into sections, inviting everyone to personalize their own quarter with their preferred toppings. From vibrant vegetables to savory meats and creamy cheeses, the possibilities are endless.

For a classic combination, try sun-dried tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant fresh basil. The sun-dried tomatoes offer a concentrated burst of sweetness and acidity, while the mozzarella melts into a luscious, gooey layer. Fresh basil adds a touch of herbaceousness, completing the symphony of flavors.

With its satisfying texture and customizable nature, this pizza crust offers a guilt-free way to enjoy a beloved comfort food.

Instructions

    1.
    Clean the zucchini and cut off the ends. Shred the zucchini into a large mixing bowl. You can peel the zucchini skin if you wish or leave it on. Add the salt to the zucchini and toss to combine. Set aside for 10 minutes to draw the moisture from the zucchini. Give it a good squeeze with your hands and drain away any excess liquid.
    2.
    Add the coconut flour, cheese, Italian seasoning and pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. The mixture should start to clump together.
    3.
    Crack the egg into the bowl. Beat well into the mixture. The mixture should now be holding together like a dough.
    4.
    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large shallow oven tray with baking paper. Turn the dough out onto the lined oven tray. Press gently into a large circle. This should be about 1/4 inch thick.
    5.
    Transfer the zucchini pizza base to the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Remove and top with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings. Return to the oven to bake for a further 10 minutes or until the pizza base is golden and the toppings are cooked through.
