Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add zucchini; cook and stir until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.

Bake in the preheated oven until center is firm and top is golden, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.

If the dough is too sticky in step 1, add some flour. If it is too dry, add some water.
