Preparation steps
1.
Put the grated courgettes in a colander and sprinkle with 1 tsp of the salt. Leave to stand for 20 minutes, then, squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Rinse thoroughly, then squeeze again.

Place the flour in a mixing bowl, stir in the yeast, the remaining oil and salt, thyme, seeds and the courgette mixture. Mix well to combine.
5.
Make a well in the centre and add the water. Mix well to form a slightly sticky dough. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth, then shape into a ball and place on the baking tray.
6.
Flatten the ball of dough with the palm of your hand and loosely cover with oiled cling film. Leave to rise in a warm place for 25-30 minutes until doubled in size.

Heat the oven to 220°C (200° fan) 425°F gas 7.
