| I have been luring here this year, as I finaly had gotten around to putting in a small herb garden. Whoohooo!
While trying to come up with things do do with my fresh herbs I invented a recipe that has had rave reviews from all of my friends. It is a savory zucchini bread recipe that uses fresh herbs. I though I'd share it with you all: Zucchini White Pizza 3 c shredded zucchini
Toss zucchini generously with salt and allow to sit in sieve at least 30 min to pull out the water. When ready add to dough, squeeze out all excess water. Most of the salt will get squeezed out also. Proof yeast- In a large mug or small bowl, mix yeast with sugar, so the yeast granules are sort of separated from each other. Add hot water stir and let sit until bubbling. (approx 10 min) Mix 2 ½ cups bread flour with gluten and salt. Add zucchini. Toss together. You will have to work the flour and zucchini here a bit to get the strands to separate. Add finely chopped fresh herbs. Add olive oil to yeast mixture and then add to bread. Knead dough, adding left over bread flour as needed until smooth ball is formed. The dough should be somewhat springy and elastic. If not, (and especially if you did not add gluten), continue to knead dough. This may take as long as 10 min. Cover bowl with plastic wrap until doubled in bulk (approx 45 min, depending on room temperature) Preheat oven to 450 use baking stone if you have one. Roll out dough to flat shape. This will give 2 small pizzas or one very large. Allow to rest on cookie sheet or pizza paddle. Top with mozzarella, bake until golden and cheese is beginning to toast slightly (about 10 min) |

| I used this recipe on Friday, which is when we often make pizza. I confess I modified it with some fresh basil and paper thin tomatoes under the cheese. Also added a sprinkling of asiago cheese, too. I give it a thumbs UP! |
