- 600 g flour

- flour (for the work surface)
- 4 medium zucchini

Instructions
-
1.
For the dough, dissolve the yeast in 300 ml lukewarm water. Mix the flour with salt and sugar, place in a bowl, create a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and oil. Knead by hand or with an electric mixer until smooth. If too wet, add more flour; if too dry, add more warm water. On a floured surface knead vigorously for about 10 minutes, cover, and let rise in a warm place for ~1 hour.

2.
Wash, trim, and slice the zucchini into thin rounds or shave them.
-
3.
Wash the bell peppers, halve, seed, and dice. Peel the onions and cut into thin strips. Drain the olives well and slice them.
-
4.
Rinse the thyme, shake dry, and strip leaves from stems.

5.
For the tomato sauce, peel and finely chop the garlic. Sauté in 1 tbsp hot olive oil until translucent. Add tomatoes, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and simmer for about 5 minutes over medium heat. Remove from heat and let cool.

6.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) with upper and lower heat.

7.
Knead the dough again briefly, divide into four equal portions, roll each into a pizza shape, and line greased trays. Shape slightly thicker edges. Spread tomato sauce over the dough, arrange zucchini rounds in a tiled pattern around the center, scatter bell pepper cubes and onion strips on top. Sprinkle cheese, season with salt, pepper, thyme, drizzle olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Five minutes before baking ends, distribute olive slices over the pizzas to warm them. Remove from oven and serve sliced.
