GLUTEN FREE ZUCCHINI CRUST PIZZA (DELICIOUS!)

Gluten Free Zucchini Crust Pizza (Delicious!) image

I got this from Whole Approach.com, submitted by Ruth Denomme. The only thing I changed was using pizza sauce instead of the tomatoes. Even the zucchini haters liked it and it tastes like a regular pizza crust. We did have to eat it with a fork though, bcz the crust isn't as firm as regular crust.

Time 28m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed to get water out
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/3 cup gluten-free flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 small tomatoes, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup julienned green pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
3 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450°. In a bowl, combine zucchini, eggs and Parmesan cheese; mix well.
Add flour and salt; stir well.
Spread onto the bottom of a 12-in. pizza pan (or a jelly roll pan) coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Bake for 8-13 minutes. Reduce heat to 350°.
Remove pizza and sprinkle with mozzarella, tomatoes, onion, green pepper, oregano, basil and Parmesan cheese.
Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until onion is tender and cheese is melted.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your pizza crust. Use fresh, high-quality flour, yeast, water, and salt.
Proof the yeast: Proofing the yeast ensures that it is active and ready to use. To proof the yeast, combine it with warm water and a small amount of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten and makes it elastic. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise: Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size. This allows the yeast to produce carbon dioxide, which creates the bubbles in the crust.
Preheat your oven: Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. This will help create a crispy crust.
Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: A pizza stone or baking sheet will help to conduct heat evenly and create a crispy crust. If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can also use a greased baking pan.
Don't overcrowd the pizza: Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. This will make the crust soggy.
Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown: Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Making a delicious pizza crust is not difficult, but it does require some time and effort. By following these tips, you can make a pizza crust that is crispy, chewy, and flavorful. With a little practice, you'll be able to make pizza crust like a pro!
