  • 1/4 :cup matzo cake meal
  • 1/2 :cup grated mozzarella

  • 1 :tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 400 and oil or spray pan of your choice and sprinkle with matzo meal.
  • If you want a thinner crust, use a pizza pan with slightly raised edges.
  • If you want a thicker crust, it's ok to use a jelly roll pan or pie pan.
  • In a bowl combine the zucchini, egg, matzo cake meal, mozzarella, parmesan, herbs and 1 tablespoon olive oil thoroughly.
  • Pat the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until golden brown.
  • (Cooking time will depend on thickness of crust, but around 35-40 minutes.) Halfway through baking you can brush with a little olive oil and place back in oven.
  • Remove from oven when done, let rest and cool for 10 minutes and then carefully loosen from pan.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 350. You can also cut the pizza into large "slices" if that will make it easier to get out of the pan.
  • You should be able to completely remove pizza from pan at this point.
  • (But leave it in the pan!) Top with whatever you like on your pizza and bake at 350 until cheese is melted and golden brown but crust doesn't burn.
