    Instructions
     

    Make Dough

    • Pour ½ cup of the water into a mixing bowl, stir in the yeast, ans et aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the remaining water, olive oil, and salt, then add the flous, adding enough to form a shaggy dough. Turn it out onto a floured board and kneed a few minutes until smooth, adding more flour if necessary to keep it from sticking.
    • Put the dough in an oiled bowl, turn once to coat, then cover with a towl and set aside to rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Turn dough onto the board and divide into the number of pizzas you want (this amount would make about 4 personal pizzas I found). Shape each piece into a ball ball, cover with a towel, and let rise for another 20-30 minutes.

    Make Pizza

    • Heat the oven to 500℉. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic Mix all of the tahini spread ingredients together in a bowl and set aside.
    • In a large bowl, drizzle the zuchini with the 2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, and dried oregano. Toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet, place in the oven, and roast for 15-20 minutes.
    • To char the onions, place a (cast iron, if you’ve got one) pan over medium high heat. Add one teaspoon olive oil and char the onions for about 10-15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
    • Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal or flour and roll out the pizza crust. Smoothly spread the tahini spread across the surface. Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella, zuchini, charred onions, chard, parmesan and the crumbled feta across the crust. Drizzle a little olive oil on top, place in the oven, and bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the edges are crisp and the cheese is melted.
    • Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
