Ah, the Holy Grail … a pizza dough with less calories and more nutrition. Could it be possible, and still taste good? And more importantly, can it fool your kids?
I haven’t tried this recipe for Zucchini Pizza Dough, but I’m going with a big yes to the questions above. OK, I admit, it seems a little weird, even to this chick who bakes with sprouted spelt flour. When I stop and think about the big hit my zucchini chocolate chip cookies are (I’ll post the recipe soon — promise!), and the fact that this dough recipe is full of cheese (the ultimate kid-pleaser), I figure it could become a family favorite.
The ingredients include lots of shredded zucchini, a little bit of flour, eggs and a bunch of cheese. It sounds delicious, but not very traditional. There’s no yeast, so I’m thinking this dough will probably turn out to be rather like a soft cracker. It’s also pretty easy to prepare, you’ll just need to give the zucchini some time to drain, so plan ahead.
Maybe you’ll have to call it “funny pizza” or “pizza pancakes” or something. It will probably become a whole different meal that you can’t compare to your usual pizza, but could be a fun and nutritious alternative.
Leave it to CliqueClack Food to find the weird stuff, eh?
