Zucchini Pizza



For dinner tonight, we are having breadsticks made out of the garlic and herb pizza dough from Trader Joe's, steamed artichokes, and zucchini pizza (a recipe I used a lot when we grew our own zucchini in Utah).  I got this recipe from Jana Nelson, at a church function where everyone brought their favorite zucchini recipe.

1 bag whole wheat pizza dough from Trader Joe's, or homemade dough
olive oil to brush on dough
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 t dried oregano
1-1 1/2 c coarse, shredded zucchini, pressed and drained
1 large tomato, sliced thin
1 small pkg shredded mozzarella (or fresh mozzarella sliced)
grated Parmesan cheese
fresh basil

Prepare dough and place to fit a 12" round pan.  Brush with olive oil; mince over garlic.  Lay on tomato and sprinkle with oregano.  Scatter on zucchini.  Sprinkle on cheeses.  Top with fresh basil.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until dough is golden, and cheese is melted.  Slice and enjoy!





For the breadsticks, I just divide the garlic and herb pizza dough into 8-10 balls.  The kids roll the dough in their hands to make "snakes" and twist them around skewers.  I then brush the dough with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with garlic salt.  Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
