Ingredients

8 oz Zucchini ((about 2 cups grated coarsely, packed loosely into the measuring cup))
3 large Eggs
1 cup Mozzarella cheese ((shredded; use either pre-shredded or hard mozzarella from a block, not soft fresh))
1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
1/2 tsp Sea salt ((plus a little more for sprinkling in step 2))

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease a 12- or 14-inch non-stick pizza pan. (30 or 36 cm) (Use parchment paper if it's not excellent non-stick.)
Spread out the grated zucchini onto the pan in a thin layer. Sprinkle very lightly with a little sea salt (not 1/2 tsp, this is just a light sprinkle). Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until zucchini is semi-soft and fairly dry.
Meanwhile, combine the eggs, mozzarella, coconut flour and 1/2 tsp sea salt in a large bowl.
When the zucchini is done, pat the dry as well as possible with paper towels. Mix into the bowl.
Lightly wipe down the pizza pan to get rid of any stuck on zucchini. If it's not very good non-stick, line with parchment paper. Grease the pan or parchment paper.
Spread the zucchini pizza dough into a thin circle, about 11-12 in (28-30 cm) in diameter. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until there are brown spots on the top. (The time will depend on the thickness of the zucchini pizza crust.)
Remove the zucchini pizza crust from the oven. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C) and let it preheat.
Let the crust rest for 10 minutes at room temperature, then top with thick sauce and toppings.
Return the zucchini crust pizza to the oven for about 10 minutes, until the cheese on top melts. If desired, place under broiler for a couple minutes to brown the cheese.
