Notes
* I cut the zucchini into matchstick shapes and place in colander with a little salt while the crust was baking to remove moisture.
While crust is baking can cut up other ingredients for topping pizza with.
I made this one a thin crust pizza since that's what I prefer but if you want more of a thick pan crust just double the polenta recipe above.
