Pizza with Zucchini and Sausage
- Pizza Dough
- Olive oil as needed
- 4 small or 2 large zucchini, about 1 pound
- Coarse salt
- 2 or 3 sweet Italian sausages, the meat removed from the casing and crumbled
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
Instructions:
This dish makes a simple and delicious family dinner.
- Preheat the oven to 500°F. Oil one or more baking sheets, then press each dough ball into a flat round directly on the oiled sheet(s). Pat out the dough, as thinly as you like, oiling your hands if necessary. If your oven is equipped with a baking stone, roll or pat out the dough as for grilled pizza, above.
- Thinly slice the zucchini. Salt the slices lightly and let them sit for at least 20 minutes, then drain off any accumulated liquid.
- Top with the zucchini, sausage, and garlic and slide the baking sheet into the oven (or the pizza itself onto the stone), and bake for about 15 minutes, depending on the oven heat, or until nicely browned.
