Another amazing low-carb pizza recipe: after the pizza recipe with almond flour, I present you a zucchini pizza today. My experiment (a zucchini pizza with a special crust) turned out more than successful. Almost no carbohydrates but very tasty! At least if you follow a few points.

Taste and Occasion

There is no flour substitute in the low-carb zucchini pizza, such as almond flour or flaxseed. Just vegetables, eggs and cheese. Several factors result in the unique taste of the zucchini pizza compared to regular pizza recipes: Not only the topping but also the base consist of zucchini and cheese. With their neutral taste, zucchini is one of my absolute favorite vegetables for sweet and savory baking. The zucchini makes the dough moist in cake recipes or muffins because it contains a lot of water.

Ingredients

Still, a pizza should be anything but mushy. To achieve this, the zucchini rasps have to be dehydrated first by salting them and then squeezing them. You then pre-bake the quite unusual zucchini pizza crust. And, together with the toppings, continue baking again on the "other side".

You can use a bit of the cheese for the base and for the topping to your taste. However, mozzarella is perfect because of its consistency. I prefer buffalo mozzarella because it brings more flavor to the "crust" of the zucchini pizza. Add an egg and strong parmesan or pecorino - and our low-carb pizza crust is ready.

How to make Zucchini Pizza

Dear pizza-lovers: Ready, set, go! First of all, wash and grate the zucchini and put them in a kitchen sieve. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt and let them soak for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 440°F/220°C.

Now, rinse the zucchini briefly with water and squeeze very well (!). Cut mozzarella into small cubes, and grate the pecorino or parmesan. Then, mix both kinds of cheese with the beaten egg and the squeezed zucchini shavings. Cover a baking sheet with baking paper and place a large cake frame or springform pan rim on it. After that, spread the zucchini cheese mixture thinly, using a spoon.

Soft & Fluffy Lemon Cookies

Soft, summer lemon cookies: These lemon cookies literally melt in your mouth! A great treat for the whole year.

It's time to pre-bake the pizza base for 20 minutes and then carefully turn it out onto a second baking sheet with baking paper or remove the original baking paper. Season tomato sauce with the Italian herbs, and prepare ingredients for the topping. Refine the low-carb zucchini pizza with sauce, vegetables, and cheese, and bake again for approx. 15 minutes. Enjoy your pizza!

Top Tip

You can use everything as a topping. For example vegetabeles of your choice. We like mushrooms and peppers. Of course, ham or salami also fit.
