I made this last night. It is an AMAZING pizza. I used half the amount of Gruyere (high cholesterol) and more zucchini (sue me). It still stayed together quite nicely. Used a Trader Joe’s garlic herb crust (hangs head ... removes chef hat). The pepper was an important addition. I used a few social crackers instead of bread crumbs. I’m in love!!
No shame in a store-bought crust!! Glad you enjoyed this recipe -- your version sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing, Kweli!
Please have more videos with Deb! She’s the best!!!
NOT!
This has become one of our family favorites. It's heavy in the rotation as a "it's late. I need to eat an hour ago and I'm tired" meal. I'm celiac, so I pop it onto a frozen GF pizza crust, but other than that I keep it pretty true to this version. I usually add a little more zucchini (I like it thick!) And (very) occasionally, I'll add a few other things or sub out some of the gruyere if I don't have it (thanks Covid) but I think it's perfect as is. It's an excellent fast, delicious, healthy, veggie-filled meal. Thanks so much for posting it. It really has become something I look forward to.
RIP John Dunsworth, he sang his song all the way down shit creek and apparently made a great zucchini pizza
I've already made this twice, once with zucchini and 2nd time with yellow squash. (I used a cotton cheesecloth to squeeze out all the water). Like all pizza dough it tasted better if you refrigerated 1 to 3 days before using. I also added some mozzarella cause my son wanted more cheese! Thank you for this excellent recipe.
Thanks for sharing, Diane! Glad you and your family enjoyed this recipe!
My granddaughters and I...its on and Im excited! This is a recipe that will be fun from start to finish .
Deborah Mac I think the salad spinner would maybe have to large wholes or it would stick all in it ... greetings from my channel 😊🌷
“BUT, MR LAHEY..!”
“Not now, Randy!”
What a great solution to lbs of garden Zucchini gardeners are giving away this time of year not to mention it’s the perfect summer dinner with adding a light salad! 😊🙏🏽
We agree :) Let us know if you try it, Melissa!
The third time making this fantastic zucchini pizza. Just delicious.
Thanks. You both are great
Wouldn't it be easier to dump the zucchini onto a dish towel, and squeeze that?? That's how I was taught to make zucchini bread.
Pizza looks pretty great !!
Yes, that way works well too! Glad you enjoyed the recipe, Joline!
Thank you very much for this tasty recipe! I'm intrigued to not only try this recipe, but the Grilled Cheese Zucchini does sound tremendous! Thank you again!
Thanks! Let us know if you try it!
Food52 Will do!
I _am_ the zucchini, Randy.
Make Jim Lahey's Liquor-Ball Sandwiches!
Or a bluejay burger for Bo Bandy
I love the look of that pizza and may end up trying it out myself.
Thanks Sidney! Let us know how it goes!
Two of my favourite food sources came together 😊 could you spin the zucchini in a salad spinner perhaps to draw out the water?
Yes you can, and incorporating the salt as shown in the video really helps!
I tried the recipe on the weekend. it was really good, very flavourful. The only thing is with that amount of dough, 250kg of flour, i only manage to make about 1 1/2 9"x13" size pizza instead of 2. and the pizza was bit stuck with glass bakeware.
Many thanks very helpful. Will share video content with my buddies.
Glad you enjoyed Kristen and Deb's tutorial!
I love Smitten Kitchen and Food 52.
So glad you're enjoying watching, Denise! Deb came back for another episode of "Genius Recipes," if you want to check it out: th-cam.com/video/hyfRI525lFk/w-d-xo.html
Hope you enjoy!
Supper & super good, Something different as change is good for us with a broad knowledge of food.

Oh, I CAN'T wait to make this!
Let us know how you like it!
@@food52 Will do!!
And why would you not use a strainer that can go in the sink to help the zucchini from sitting in it's own juices?? I get the end squeeze, but it seem to me like extra work w/ that kind of strainer.
Judie Garnett absolutely yes, put it in colander in sink to rest and drain some. To squeeze the zucchini later, try using a potato ricer. I have small hands and it takes forever to squeeze grated zucchini. I read somewhere to use a potato ricer to squeeze handfuls of grated zucchini. Genius.
Delicious.
Deb is so cuuuuteee!!
Will make, sounds delicious. I've always used zucchini in thin round slices w/mozzarella with a thicker crust, this is a nice change ....thanks for the tips, I've been a reader of smitten kitchen for years and I really enjoyed this! Also, when I first read the title I thought, big deal my Italian grandmothers made this bec that's what they had from the garden that day.....then at around 2 min in the video Deb talks about simple ingredients and the way "most people cook at home" yes!! 😃
Glad you enjoyed the recipe, Maria!
My family follows the healing and disease-fighting way of eating called The Ketogenic Lifestyle since June 2016. I am absolutely thrilled to see this recipe as there are a few yeast-risen recipes that include vital wheat gluten and grain-free alternatives (almond flour, coconut flour, or for those follow low-carb, they use cassava or tapioca flours) that make for a pretty delicious pizza dough. I like how your camaraderie was infectious and humorous. I would definitely use grated Parmesan instead bread crumbs by this definitely looked delicious. I would have added a drizzle of excellent olive oil just before serving, but man...it looked great! I will definitely check out “Smitten Kitchen” to see if you upload some actual low carb or Ketogenic recipes. Would you please think about doing so? I’m using Keto to reverse my Type 2 Diabetes and it was instrumental in helping me help my oncology team kill my Stage 3, Class C (yes, just a single step above terminal) breast cancer. I’m enjoying nearly three years in full remission. Food is no longer just pleasure, it’s helping me choose between life or a painful death. I don’t mean to sound overly dramatic, but it’s true. Keto helped me endure the ravages of the taxol chemotherapy, the horrors of Stage 2 neuropathy in my hands and feet as well as overcoming the weekly death of GI motility. Food, truly good and delicious food, is so important when you are feeding someone you love to help them, not adding carbohydrates or glucose (which cancer NEEDS to live, thrive and spread) to their diet because “it’s easy”.
Pizza also doesn't need cheese-- well-seasoned vegetables with sauce do the job nicely.
Can you use the zucchini juice to make the dough?
what about tomatoes (crushed , diced or...) on it as well. i love zuccs idk about just even with a gruyere cheese (which is one of my fav cheeses) and a fresh sweet basil shif?
knowing me , i would make that 5 ingred pizza a 15 ingred ++ pizza! i love spice and muilty cheeses.
Ha! These are great suggestions -- let us know what you add when you try it!
I LOVE DEB 😭
What is the exact temperature that the water must be at? Is it 105-110 degrees or is it cold?
I am the zucchini pizza.
Yummmm
remember, zucchini is GMO - so use either organic or 4 digit growing numbers so it's conventional. (the 4 digit number is on a sticker on the fruit indicating where it is grown). but how do you make the dough? this is so confusing
I think the rectangular shaped pizza is Sicilian-style
My BoBandy wants a cheeseburger.
Bake temperature?
Hi Patricia! You can find the full baking instructions on the recipe page: food52.com/recipes/81432-jim-lahey-s-5-ingredient-summer-squash-pizza
Hope this helps!
Could you add sauce
What oven temp? They don't say.
It does say. 500 degreesF
450º is a good place to start.
Hi Lee! The full recipe instructions have more detail: food52.com/recipes/81432-jim-lahey-s-5-ingredient-summer-squash-pizza
Hope this helps!
You could have used the leftover zucchini juice to make the pizza to add extra flavor.
That's a great suggestion, thanks!
snoopaka Or a martini.
I bet this would be good on a keto fathead crust...I'll let you know.
Yes, please let us know how it goes!
Dang these 2 are so uncomfortable.
That little girl on the left is nasty
You forgot the splash of shit-liquor.
Totally inaccurate . I have the Lahey My Pizza book and the zucchini pie in that book DOES have chili and anchovies and other ingredients. The pizza in the video is great, but why lie and say it’s from the book abs only 5 ingredients? They are completely different. You can stop the video and zoom in on the page when she flips to it to see for yourself
There is something mildly irritating about this video. Likely the banter.
That vocal fry is just so uncomfortable to listen to that it's distracting. What is with this affectation?
