Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Zucchini green
- 1/2 cup Zucchini yellow
- 1/4 cup Jalapeno
- 1 Sauce or mato mato
- 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese grated
- Pepper black, crushed
- Oregano Flakes
- Chilli Flakes
- 1.5 tsp Salt or as per taste
- 100 gm Flour refine
- Oil as required
- Butter as required
- tsp Baking Powder half
- 1 tsp Yeast
Instructions
Make the Pizza Dough
- Combine flour, yeast, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
Prepare the Pizza Boats
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 6-inch circle or oval. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over each dough circle, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
Add the Toppings
- Evenly distribute the diced zucchini, yellow squash, and jalapeños over the sauce. Sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake and Serve
- Fold the four sides of each dough circle towards the center to create a boat shape. Brush the edges with melted butter. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For extra flavor, sauté the zucchini and yellow squash before adding them to the pizza boats.
- Feel free to customize the toppings! Add your favorite vegetables, meats, or cheeses.
- If you want crispier crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding the toppings.
- These pizza boats are best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
