Preparation
Step 1
Salt the zucchini lightly and let it sit for 15 minutes. Squeeze out all the excess moisture.
Combine all crust ingredients, and spread into an oiled 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Bake 20 - 25 minutes--until the surface is dry and firm. Brush the top with oil and broil it, under moderate heat for 5 minutes.
Pile all of your favorite pizza toppings on (tomato sauce, olives, sautéed mushrooms, strips of peppers, lots of cheese--etc), and heat the whole mess in a 350° oven for about 25 minutes. Serve hot, cut into squares, with a big tossed salad.
