\nIf you think pizza is only about tomato sauce, pepperoni, and cheese, you are missing out! Try this exceptional Italian-style vegetarian white pizza with zucchini and herbed ricotta. \u201cPizza Bianca\u201d is what white pizza is called in Italian.<\/p>\n

Fresh creamy herbed ricotta is spread on pizza dough, mounded with thinly sliced zucchini ribbons, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses then baked in a screaming hot oven until crisp and golden. At the first bite, you\u2019ll see why this will become your new favourite. It\u2019s light and crispy in all the right places, cheesy, and packed with lots of herb flavour.<\/p>\n

To achieve the crispiest pizza ever, make sure you get your oven really hot so the pizza will cook and brown quickly.  When the golden-baked crispy pizza comes out of the oven, you won\u2019t believe you created it!<\/p>\n

Since I grew up in an Italian family eating homemade pizza all the time, you could say I\u2019m a good authority on homemade pizza. I always make my own pizza dough but if that\u2019s not your thing, don\u2019t let that be a barrier. Make your life easy and simply pick up pre-made pizza dough at your local bakery or grocer. It\u2019s perfectly acceptable!<\/p>\n

When you have pizza dough on hand (whether it\u2019s homemade or store-bought) you\u2019ll be surprised at how quick and easy it is to make this pizza on a weeknight. For convenience, you could easily keep a stash of pizza dough in your freezer. Thaw the frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight. Bring cold pizza dough to room temperature to rise a little bit which will make it easier to stretch. This takes about one hour. One pound (450g) of pizza dough makes one medium-large pizza.<\/p>\n

\"Zucchini<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t own a spiralizer to slice the zucchini into thin ribbons, then use a vegetable peeler or sharp knife and slice the zucchini into thin strands or coins. I purchased the Ricardo Countertop Spiralizer<\/a> and I love it! It\u2019s so easy to use, easy to clean, and stores easily in a drawer in the original box. You will be surprised at the generous amount of freshly sliced zucchini you need to pile on the pizza as it reduces substantially when baked. Wait until the last minute to spiralize the zucchini as you don\u2019t want it to exude any liquid before cooking.<\/p>\n
