Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12-16 ounces) Pizza dough
- 1 medium (thinly sliced into rounds) Zucchini
- 2 medium (sliced into thin rounds) Fresh tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1.5 cups (shredded) Fontina cheese
- 6 leaves (roughly torn) Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting the pizza stone or baking sheet) Cornmeal or flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Step 2
Dust a pizza peel or baking sheet with cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place it on the prepared surface.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced zucchini, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Brush the pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Evenly distribute the shredded fontina cheese over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 5
Arrange the sautéed zucchini slices over the cheese, followed by the slices of fresh tomatoes. Slightly overlap them for even coverage.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Step 7
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle the torn fresh basil leaves on top before slicing.
Step 8
Serve warm and enjoy your Zucchini and Fresh Tomato Pizza with Fontina!
