Summer Squash Pizza Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Use a small paring knife to puncture the spaghetti squash a few times all over. Place on a baking sheet and bake until tender, about 1 hour. Let cool until cool enough to handle, then use a large knife to slice the squash open lengthwise. Scrape out the seeds with a fork and discard. Continue to use the fork to pull the flesh from its peel. (Leave the oven on.)
• Wrap the squash in a clean dishtowel and squeeze out all the excess water. (There will be quite a bit of water in the squash. It is important to squeeze out as much as you can so that the crust will have a better texture.)
• Whisk the eggs together with the shredded mozzarella and garlic salt in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the spaghetti squash until well combined.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Transfer the squash to the center of the baking sheet and spread into a 10-inch circle. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Spread the pizza sauce on the crust and top with the desired toppings. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, an additional 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450ºF.
• Place pizza crust on baking sheet. Arrange tomatoes over crust; brush with 1 Tbsp. dressing.
• Heat remaining dressing in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add zucchini and yellow squash; cook and stir 4 to 5 min. or until crisp-tender. Arrange over tomatoes; top with cheeses.
• Bake 10 to 12 min. or until crust is golden brown and mozzarella is melted. Sprinkle with basil.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 450^. Place crust on baking sheet or(for extra crisp crust-bake directly on oven rack).Don't bake yet.
• 2. Arrange tomatoes over crust; brush with 1 Tablespoon of the dressing. Heat remaining dressing in a large skillet on med-hi heat. Add zucchini and yellow squash; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until crisp tender. Arrange over tomatoes; top with cheeses.( I added crispy bacon bits).
• 3. Bake 10-12 minutes or until crust is golden brown and mozzarella is melted. Sprinkle with basil. --- Note: Squash mixture may be cooked, cooled and frozen up to 2 months. Thaw and drain before using to assemble pizza. This would also be good using Susan's tortilla pizza idea.
