Ingredienser
Instructions
Add flour, salt, dry yeast, olive oil and water to a stand mixer. Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a cloth, and let the dough rise for about 1 hour, until roughly doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 3 to 4 pieces and roll or press them into thin pizza bases.
Cut the zucchini into large pieces and add it to a food processor with basil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. Blend to a smooth purée.
Fold the crème fraîche into the zucchini purée until you have a smooth pizza sauce.
Spread the sauce over the pizza bases and top with grated cheese, tomato and red onion.
Bake the pizza at 250 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes in a regular oven, or for 2 to 3 minutes in a pizza oven, until the base is crisp and the cheese has melted.
Top the pizza with fresh basil before serving.

Squeeze out a little liquid from the zucchini if it seems very watery. This makes the sauce richer and helps the pizza base stay crisper during baking without the topping making it heavy.
Did you know?
Zucchini gives a mild and fresh base for white pizza, especially when combined with crème fraîche, herbs and lime. The result is lighter than a heavy cheese sauce and gives the vegetarian pizza a green, summery character. Tomato, red onion and basil add freshness and balance the creamy sauce.
