Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 350 milliliters Warm water
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 10 grams Sugar
• 15 grams Salt
• 60 milliliters Olive oil
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Flaky sea salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Slowly pour in the warm water and olive oil, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, slice the zucchini into thin rounds and set aside.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with olive oil. Gently stretch and press the dough into the pan, covering the entire surface.

Step 7

Let the dough rise in the pan for another 30 minutes, uncovered.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).

Step 9

Before baking, arrange the zucchini slices on top of the dough, slightly overlapping them. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh rosemary, garlic powder, and flaky sea salt.

Step 10

Using your fingertips, press dimples all over the surface of the dough, ensuring some olive oil pools into the dimples for extra flavor.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and the edges are crisp.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
