Steps:
- Place a pizza stone or inverted rimmed baking sheet on the lower oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F. Make the pesto: Lightly toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes; let cool. Transfer to a food processor and add the arugula, parsley, garlic and capers; pulse until almost smooth. With the motor running, gradually add the olive oil and process until combined. Add the parmesan and pulse to combine; add 2 tablespoons water to loosen. Season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the pizza: Keep the prebaked crust on the baking sheet. Spread with the pesto and top with the mozzarella. Arrange the zucchini in overlapping rows on top. Sprinkle with the parmesan and drizzle with the olive oil. Transfer the baking sheet to the hot pizza stone and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with basil; season with salt and pepper.
- Combine the flour, salt and yeast in a large bowl. Stir in 2 cups warm water (about 105 degrees F) and 2 tablespoons olive oil with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until the dough rises slightly, about 1 hour.
- Using lightly floured hands, transfer the dough to a generously floured surface and knead several times until it just starts becoming smooth and elastic, about 1 minute (do not over-knead). Transfer to a lightly oiled large bowl. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until almost doubled in size, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or inverted rimmed baking sheet on the lower oven rack and preheat to 500 degrees F.
- Brush two rimmed 13-by-18-inch baking sheets (not nonstick) with 3 tablespoons olive oil each. Place one piece of dough on each baking sheet. Prepare the pizzas one at a time: Cover the dough with plastic wrap, then press firmly with your hands to fill the baking
- Remove the plastic wrap and transfer the baking sheet to the hot pizza stone. Bake until the crust starts browning, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully loosen the crust from the pan using a spatula. Top and bake, or let cool, lightly wrap in plastic and set aside up to 8 hours.
BREAKFAST PIZZA WITH ZUCCHINI PESTO, PROVOLONE, SMOKED RICOTTA AND OLIVE OIL FRIED EGG
Steps:
- Put a pizza stone on or near the bottom of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a pizza peel.
- Dust your work surface with a little bit of flour. Working with 2 balls of dough at a time (whatever will fit on your pizza stone), roll out each ball of dough to about 1/8 inch thick and transfer to the peel. Drizzle the top with a few teaspoons olive oil, scatter some of the provolone evenly over the top and season with some salt, pepper and chile flakes. Using the peel, transfer the pizzas to the stone and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- While the pizzas cook, fry the eggs: Heat about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Slip in 2 of the eggs and fry until the edges are brown and crisp, the whites are set and the yolks still runny, about 3 minutes.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and spread an even layer of Zucchini Pesto on top, dollop with some ricotta, top with an egg and garnish with some parsley leaves. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Cook the remaining eggs, adding an additional tablespoon of oil to the skillet if needed. Serve hot.
- Combine the zucchini, basil, Parmesan, almonds, garlic and onion in the bowl of a food processor and process until coarsely chopped. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil and process until emulsified. Season with the lemon zest and some salt and pepper and pulse a few times.
ZUCCHINI PIZZA CRUST WITH LEMONY PEA PESTO
Zucchini is a surprisingly chameleon-like vegetable-I find myself using it frozen in morning smoothies, pureed in desserts, and, now, grated in pizza crust! Zucchini pizza is a great way to sneak in extra servings of vegetables, and it is naturally lower in carbohydrates and higher in fiber compared with traditional crusts. This recipe pays homage to a cauliflower crust, which is one of my most popular recipes from the blog. Both of these recipe components, the crust and pea pesto, can be enjoyed on their own, yet when combined, it's evident they're meant to be enjoyed together.

Steps:
- Quick-thaw the peas by blanching in boiling water for 3 minutes or microwaving until soft. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the peas, pine nuts, garlic, oil, water, hemp seeds, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste and pulse until the mixture is well combined and thick. Adjust seasonings to taste. Store in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Place the grated zucchini in a strainer, sprinkle the salt on top, and gently toss until the salt is distributed. Allow the zucchini to sit and sweat excess moisture for 45 to 60 minutes.
- Transfer the zucchini from the strainer to a nut-milk bag or cheesecloth. Wrapping the cloth around the zucchini entirely, use your hands to squeeze out any excess liquid. Repeat the process until the zucchini no longer releases liquid. Place the zucchini in a large bowl and add the flours, eggs, garlic, nutritional yeast, oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine well.
- Position one rack in the middle of the oven and another in the top position. Place a pizza stone (for a crispier crust) or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper on the middle rack. Preheat the oven to 500ºF. Place a large piece of parchment paper on a clean countertop and drizzle it with olive oil. Spread the zucchini dough onto the parchment paper and form the dough into a large 10-inch round or oval, about 1/2 inch thick.
- Transfer the dough from the parchment paper directly to the hot pizza stone or lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Flip the pizza crust over and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the crust is firm-crisp.
- Carefully remove the crust from the oven, spoon on the pesto to the desired thickness, and bake on the top rack for 5 to 7 minutes, until the pesto is warm. Remove from the oven. Top with garnishes, if desired, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Remove pizza dough from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Heat oven to 450 degrees and with rack on lowest setting.
- Pour 2 teaspoons olive oil on a rimmed rectangle baking sheet (the larger the sheet the thinner your crust will be).
- Place dough on sheet and coat with oil. Stretch the dough to create a large rectangle, roughly the size of your sheet. (If dough will not stretch, allow it to rest for another 10 minutes before trying again).
- Spread pesto evenly over the pizza dough and top with half the cheese. Lay zucchini slices over pesto in a single layer (you may have a few slices left over,) and top with remaining cheese.
- Drizzle remaining 2 teaspoons oil over zucchini.
- Bake until crust and cheese are lightly browned, 20 minutes. If crust begins to get too dark and cheese isn't browned, move pizza to the center rack of oven.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt and pepper; allow pizza to rest 5 minutes before slicing.
