Equipment

  • 1 pizza stone for crisp crust
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Pizza Peel

Ingredients
  

Pizza Base

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce

Toppings

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 medium zucchinis thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F and place the pizza stone inside to heat.
  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a border around the edge.
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer the zucchini slices on top. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle oregano.
  • Transfer the pizza onto the heated stone using a pizza peel. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and scatter fresh basil leaves over the top.

Serving
