Directions

  1. You’re going to need 2 baking pans, with parchment paper lining for both of them. (I start with the smaller one first, then flip into the larger one. Definitely easier than trying to go the other way!)
  2. Once zucchini or summer squash has been shredded (I recommend a food processor) lightly salt the zuch+squash and transfer it to a strainer. Let stand 15 to 30 minutes and press all remaining liquid out of it.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine zuch+squash, flour, parmesan, cheddar cheese, eggs, pepper and salt. Mix well.
  5. Spread the mixture into a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven and change the oven’s temperature to broil. Brush the top of the crust with oil, and then broil the crust for 7 to 10 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
  8. Allow the crust to cool slightly and slide spatula underneath all edges and under the middle. Place a larger, parchment-lined, baking pan over the top of the crust and gently flip the crust over so that the bottom of the crust is now facing upwards. (I laid the parchment sheet on top, then put the baking sheet on top of that to make things a little easier.)
  9. Brush the top of the crust with oil and broil for another 7 to 10 minutes until the top is browned.
  10. Cover with toppings as desired, such as veggies, more dairy-free cheese, etc. I put a light layer of tomato / spaghetti sauce, sliced onions, turkey pepperoni, and dairy-free shredded cheese.
  11. Return to broiler for about 10-15 minutes.
  12. Remove pizza and transfer to a cutting board. Let rest for 10 minutes, cut into squares. Mine made 6 square slices, and was good for 3 servings.

Notes

The source for this at allrecipes.com is not dairy-free or gluten-free. This version is modified from that source.

The original recipe said this would take about an hour to cook. I found I had to extend the broiling times from 5 minutes to 10 minutes, even though I had moved the rack up near the broiler.
