Sheet Pan Pizza

Instructions

• 1
  First, start preparing the dough: Take a large bowl, add both white and whole grain spelt flour, and make a well in the flour. Pour 200 ml of warm water into the well, add brown sugar, and crumble in the yeast. Set the bowl aside for 5⁠–⁠10 minutes to activate the yeast. Then add 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of salt to the bowl and work the contents into a smooth dough. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise for 20⁠–⁠30 minutes.

  Meanwhile, grate the zucchini into thin slices using a peeler into a clean bowl, salt it, and set it aside for 5⁠–⁠8 minutes to release water. Peel the garlic, press it into a small bowl, add cream cheese, mix, and season the resulting mixture with salt and pepper. Drain the rested zucchini and gently squeeze it.

  About 10 minutes before the dough finishes rising, preheat the oven to 210 °C, prepare a baking sheet, and line it with baking paper.

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 12 minutes at 200⁠–⁠210 °C. Meanwhile, tear the mozzarella into smaller pieces.
