Ingredients

Step cooking

Vegetable preparation

1. Thin slices cut pre-washed zucchini (1 pc.). Make a circle thickness of approximately 3 mm. Use a young vegetable so you don’t have to peel it.
   
2. Put the sliced ​​zucchini in a deep plate. Sprinkle the vegetable with a mixture of Provencal herbs (1 tsp). The composition of the mixture includes dry herbs of rosemary, thyme, marjoram, basil, sage, oregano and mint. Before you sprinkle slices of zucchini with herbs, rub them well in your fingers. This will make odors stronger.
   
3. Add soy sauce (3 tbsp.) To the plate.
   
4. Pour on top of vegetable oil (1 tbsp. L.).
   
5. Gently mix the zucchini circles, leave to marinate while you cook the tomatoes and make the dough. Wash the cherry tomatoes.
   

Cooking pizza dough

1. Pour the previously sifted flour (1.5 cups) into a deep bowl.
   
2. Add salt to the flour (to taste), pour in vegetable oil (2-3 tbsp. L.).
   
3. Using a tablespoon, mix the flour with the additives until the butter is completely absorbed.
   
4. After this, grind the flour mixture well with your hands until smooth.
   
5. Add room temperature water (150-200 ml) to the bowl. Do not pour all the water at once to prevent the dough from being too liquid. Pour water in small portions, kneading a thick soft dough. The amount of water depends on the quality of the flour, so it is impossible to say exactly how much water the mixture will take. Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside for 10 minutes to proof.
   

Pizza making

1. While the dough is “resting”, cut the cherry tomatoes into halves (150 g).
   
2. Sprinkle a little flour on the countertop, hands too.
   
3. Roll a ball with a diameter of about 11-13 cm from the dough, rolling it on all sides in flour so that the dough does not stick to your hands.
   
4. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a large thin cake. Make a layer thickness of about 5-6 mm.
   
5. Wrap the resulting cake around the rolling pin. Transfer the pizza blank to the wire rack covered with baking paper. Place the workpiece in the center of the grill.
   
6. Lubricate the surface of the cake with ketchup (5-7 tbsp. L.) Using a brush or silicone pastry spatula. If you want a juicier pizza, use the whole portion of ketchup, otherwise take the minimum amount of sauce (5 tbsp. L.).
   
7. Directly on ketchup, grate half the cheese (125 g) on ​​a fine grater, evenly covering the entire surface of the workpiece with cheese shavings. Sprinkle a layer of cheese with dry oregano (pinch), previously rub it in your fingers. Grate the remaining cheese (125 g), gently spread it evenly throughout the pizza.
   
8. Spread marinated slices of zucchini and halved cherry tomatoes on a cheese layer.
   
9. Salt (to taste) and pepper pizza with black pepper (to taste). Sprinkle with dried herbs basil (pinch). Try to get the basil greens on the slices of zucchini and halves of tomatoes.
   
10. Bake pizza in the oven, heated to a temperature of 220 ° C for 10-15 minutes.
    
11. Garnish the finished pizza with fresh basil leaves (pick them from 2 branches). Do not forget to wash and dry the greens first.
    
12. Serve the pizza hot. If desired, you can sprinkle pizza with dill or parsley (not specified in the recipe).
