ZUCCHINI PIZZA CRUST COOKING DELICIOUS
Home-baked
grain-free crust recipes also abound, and many are super tasty, but I’ve never
found one that produced a pie that doesn’t realistically need to be eaten with
a knife and fork. Unless you’re a preternaturally orange politician or a
Seinfeld character, I’d guess you probably expect to pick up your slice and eat
it with your hands.

INGREDIENTS
·
5
medium zucchini
·
2-3
tsp sea salt (for disgorging)
·
2
cups almond flour
·
2
tbsp coconut flour
·
2
large eggs
·
2
cups Parmesan cheese
·
1
tsp red pepper flakes
·
1
tsp dried oregano (optional)
1.
Shred
the zucchini in a food processor, with a julienne slicer, or a cheese grater.
2.
Disgorge
the shredded zucchini (remove the excess water) by sprinkling liberally with
salt. (2-3 tsp should be plenty) and set aside for 20 minutes.
3.
Now
is a good time to preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 C).
4.
After
20 minutes, transfer the zucchini to a few layers of cheesecloth and squeeze
out the excess water. You should end up with a lot of liquid and a much smaller
pile of zucchini shreds.
5. Combine
zucchini mulch with the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl. I find
that a wooden spoon works best for incorporating the ingredients into a pliable
dough.
6.
Turn
out the dough into a baking paper-lined baking sheet and spread into an even
layer, about 1/3 inch thick. We generally use a round aerated pizza sheet that
measures 15.75 inches, but a regular large cookie sheet will work well also.
7. Pop
the pizza crust in the oven for 25-35 minutes, checking at the 25-minute mark.
The crust should be starting to turn a nice golden brown on top. Let crust cool
before topping.
8. After
you've dressed your pie in toppings, pop it back in the oven for another 20
minutes.
Let
your crust cool before loading it up with sauce and toppings, and let it cool
just slightly again before slicing and eating. This will help prevent the crust
from becoming soggy with toppings and help your crust stay together so you
achieve a good consistency for picking it up and eating by hand.
