Marinated Zucchini Pizza (Pizza Alle Zucchine)
- 1 14 lbs pizza dough, herbed (Herb Pizza Dough is recommended)
- 5 cups olive oil or 5 cups vegetable oil, for deep-frying
- 4 zucchini, about 13 ounces, cut into slices 1/8-inch thick
- 14 cup red wine vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 bunch fresh basil leaf, torn into strips
- Have pizza dough at the ready.
- Preheat oven to 450 F (220C).
- If using a baking stone or tiles, now the time to place in the oven.
- Pour oil into a deep frying pan and heat to 350F (170C).
- Fry the zucchini slices in the oil, a few at a time, until barely golden, about 2 minutes.
- Using slotted spoon, transfer zucchini slices to paper towels to drain.
- When all of the slices have been fried, pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the oil.
- Return the fried zucchini to the pan and pour in the vinegar.
- Place over medium heat, add the garlic and cook until the vinegar evaporates and the zucchini begins to darken, about 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.

- Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400F (200C) and bake until the crust is golden, about 10 minutes.
