Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Crust
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Place your pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Step 2: Spread the Sauce
- Spoon the pizza sauce onto the crust.
- Use the back of a spoon to spread the sauce evenly, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Step 3: First Layer of Cheese
- Sprinkle half of the mozzarella blend over the pizza sauce.
- Make sure to distribute it evenly to cover the sauce layer.
Step 4: Add Corn and Toppings
- Scatter the corn kernels across the cheese layer.
- If you’re using bell peppers and cherry tomatoes, arrange them evenly across the pizza for a colorful presentation.
Step 5: Season the Pizza
- Add a light sprinkle of red chili flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Step 6: Add More Cheese
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella blend over the top of the toppings.
- This will give you that classic gooey cheese pull with every slice.
Step 7: Bake the Pizza
- Place the pizza in the oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden, and the crust is crisp.
Step 8: Garnish and Serve
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
- Add fresh basil leaves on top for a pop of flavor and color.
Step 9: Enjoy!
Slice and serve your cheesy, delicious corn pizza!
Recipe Tips:
- Drizzle a bit of garlic butter on the crust edges before baking for a garlicky finish.
- Add olives or jalapeños if you prefer an extra punch of flavor!
