This is a great recipe! The best way to remove the moisure is simply putting the finely grated zucchini in a tea towel and simply wringing the water out. (the same way to do cucumber for tzaziki). No waiting or added salt is needed. No oil, I just cooked it on parchment paper. I didn't add the flour either and it came out perfect. I made it earlier in the day to avoid clean-up during dinner. My daughter doesn't like \"raw\" vegetables, so I sauteed the onions, peppers and some mushrooms. We added the vegetables and cheese to the waiting zucchini crust, and cooked around 15 minutes. Made this for a hard-core vegetarian who now has an easy go-to recipe. Didn't last long!

I ended up scooping everything off the pizza pan with all the toppings, reformed it on a nonstick cookie sheet and baked at 450 for another 15 minutes.
