Time 3h25m

Yield One 9x13 pan pizza

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 medium zucchini, sliced 1/16 inch thick (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt
Cooking spray
One 1-pound ball 100% Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough (recipe follows)
White whole-wheat flour, for work surface
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 pint ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
8 pitted kalamata olives, quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup crumbled feta
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 basil leaves, torn
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 cups white whole-wheat flour, plus more for kneading
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Set a pizza stone or baking sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Toss the zucchini with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl and let sit.
  • Spray the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch metal pan with cooking spray. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and start pressing it into a rectangular shape. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan and press it evenly all the way to the edges. Place the pan on the hot pizza stone and partially bake for about 10 minutes. The bottom should be lightly golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the crust with the mozzarella in an even layer. Pat-dry the zucchini and shingle the rounds in a single layer over the mozzarella. Spray the cherry tomatoes with cooking spray and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl, then top the zucchini layer with the tomatoes, olives and feta. Drizzle all over with the olive oil.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake until the bottom is deep golden brown and the cherry tomatoes have wilted, 18 to 20 minutes,
  • Top with torn basil leaves. Cut into 8 squares.
  • Stir together the warm water, honey and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
  • Whisk the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil and mix together with a stiff rubber spatula. Form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Be sure to scrape and use any dough stuck to the sides. The dough will be very sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a clean, dry work surface. Scrape the dough onto the floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, working in just enough flour to make the dough less sticky but still moist to the touch. Form the dough into 1, 2 or 4 balls, for large, medium and small pizzas. Place the dough ball(s) on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let rest for 30 minutes. The dough can then be shaped and cooked as desired or wrapped well and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen dough at room temperature, shape and cook as desired.

Categories     European

Time P1DT18m

Yield 2 pizzas, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cherry tomatoes
1 zucchini
1 lb mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Put in a bowl the flour and the baking powder.
  • Add sugar, the salt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add 2 cups of water and started to knead.
  • If the dough will seem sticky, don't worry. Add more flour until it becomes smooth and homogeneous.
  • Now give to the dough the shape of a ball and leave it into the bowl covered with transparent film.
  • Put the dough in the oven closed and turned off.
  • Take back the dough after about 4 hours, or anyway when it will become twice its volume.
  • N.B. I usually prepare the dough in the evening and I pull it out of the oven the next day-.
  • When the dough has doubled in volume, take some flour and detach it from the bowl.
  • Started to manipulate the dough and divide into two equal parts.
  • Form two balls this time, and put them in two different bowls covered with transparent film again, and again put in the oven to rise until they reach twice their volume.
  • When the dough has doubled, take the compound obtained into a bowl and put it in a round baking pan (or square if you don't have round) and being to roll the dough directly into the pan, using your hands, until you have covered all the entire pan.
  • Do the same with the other dough to obtain 2 pizzas.
  • Now put 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the pizza and put 1 grated zucchini and cherry tomatoes cut into 4 pieces.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese on top and put in the oven preheat to 375F for 15/18 minutes, and anyway until the colour will became gold and the cheese will melted.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy hot.
  • Bonne apetit.
