You guys want a joke about pizza? Never mind, it's a bit too cheesy. 🍕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Inspired by @fortheloveoffoodandlife, this Zucchini Blossom Pizza is perfect for summer. Made directly in a cast iron skillet, the @ninodaversabakery dough is topped with mozzarella, zucchinis and zucchini blossoms, and finished with lemon zest, honey and a few dollops of ricotta cheese. Because of the hot skillet, this pizza came out MEGA crispy on the bottom, almost like a focaccia. It is so light and refreshing, you may want to make two if you have any company at all!
Sweet, salty and absolutely delicious! Will definitely be a crowd pleaser!
