You guys want a joke about pizza? Never mind, it's a bit too cheesy. 🍕

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Inspired by @fortheloveoffoodandlife, this Zucchini Blossom Pizza is perfect for summer. Made directly in a cast iron skillet, the @ninodaversabakery dough is topped with mozzarella, zucchinis and zucchini blossoms, and finished with lemon zest, honey and a few dollops of ricotta cheese. Because of the hot skillet, this pizza came out MEGA crispy on the bottom, almost like a focaccia. It is so light and refreshing, you may want to make two if you have any company at all!


Sweet, salty and absolutely delicious! Will definitely be a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or purchased)
  • 16 zucchini blossoms, gently washed
  • 2 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup ricotta
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • honey, for drizzling
Instructions

Heat oven to 500F. Place cast iron pan(s) in the oven while heating up.
Gently wash and dry zucchini blossoms.
Use a hand mandolin if you have to slice zucchini thinly and perfectly!
Roll out pizza dough into two round circles.
Brush each dough with 1 tbsp of olive oil
When oven is preheated, take out cast iron pan(s). If you only have one, you will have to do this in 2 batches!
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to each pan and carefully place dough on pans.
Layer on ingredients: mozzarella, sliced zucchini and then zucchini blossoms.
Bake for 12-14 minutes.
When the pizzas are golden and ready, take out of oven. Top with dollops of ricotta, lemon zest, and drizzle with honey!
Tips
  • For the honey drizzle, we used a hot honey. Not necessary, but a nice addition if you have it on hand!

    I LOVE the look with both the zucchini and yellow squash!!! My "white pizza" trick is to spread mayo (no joke, it completely works!) onto the crust and sprinkle with garlic powder, first! BUT the flavor of this, with the ricotta, etc.? It's like salty and craveable in the best possible way!!! My biggest problem, come summer, is to sacrifice the zucchini blossoms and not wind up with the amazing zucchini! lol THANK YOU for posting!!! ~Chrissie
