Instructions

In a bowl, whisk flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Stir in sour cream, lemon juice, and ice water until dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
Lay zucchini slices on paper towels, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 30 minutes. Pat dry.
Mix garlic into olive oil. In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, and 1 teaspoon garlic oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Roll dough into a rough circle on a floured surface and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread cheese mixture in the center, leaving a border. Arrange zucchini on top and drizzle with remaining garlic oil.
Fold dough edges over filling, pleating slightly. Beat egg yolk with water and brush on crust.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
Let rest 10 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh basil before slicing.

Notes

Substitute yellow squash or tomatoes for zucchini.
Add pesto to the cheese mixture for extra flavor.
Swap ricotta with goat cheese or mascarpone for a tangier or creamier filling.
Add caramelized onions or roasted garlic for depth.
Sprinkle red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
