Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and if available, place the pizza stone in the oven to preheat.
  • Divide the dough in half and roll out both dough balls to a 9-10 inch circle.
  • Whisk the grated garlic with the olive oil and brush the garlic oil onto the pizza dough, leaving room around the border.
  • Layer the shredded mozzarella, zucchini ribbons and top with the halved zucchini flowers, gently fanning the flours out for presentation.
  • 'If using, top with grated parmesan cheese and an extra drizzle of olive oil right on top.
  • Transfer the pizza to a hot pizza stone and cook the pizza until the crust is golden brown and cheese has melted, for about 6-8 minutes.
  • Once done, remove the squash flower pizza from the oven and top with roughly ton burrata cheese, about 2-4 ounces per pizza and fresh basil leaves.

Notes

    • Use squash blossoms the same day they are harvested or purchased because they will wilt quickly.
    • If cutting your own squash blossoms, cut the flowers in the morning when they are open.
    • Don't wash the zucchini flowers, just give them a simple wipe if there's any dirt on them.
    • If burrata cheese isn't available, substitute with fresh mozzarella that is packed in brine.
    • Let the pizza dough come to room temperature so it's easier to stretch out.
    • Recipe Yields 2 medium size pizzas.
