Zucchini Mascarpone Pizza

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zucchini Mascarpone Pizza.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the thinly sliced zucchini and fry until they turn a beautiful golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Once done, remove them from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

2. Step 2

   Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms up, grab an 8-inch pizza pan and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, white sugar, and salt. Slowly pour in the vegetable oil and warm water, stirring until the mixture comes together. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it’s smooth and well blended. Roll it out with a rolling pin to fit your prepared pizza pan, making sure to roll it thin. Don’t forget to fold over the edges to create a lovely rim for your crust!

4. Step 4

   Spread the prepared pizza sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top. Now, artfully arrange the golden zucchini slices over the cheese, creating a colorful and appetizing design.

5. Step 5

   Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is perfectly browned, which should take about 15 minutes. As the pizza bakes, the aroma will fill your kitchen!

6. Step 6

   Once out of the oven, add dollops of mascarpone cheese over the pizza. The heat will cause it to melt and spread, adding a rich creaminess to every bite. Allow the pizza to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes before slicing it up and serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
