Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
In a mixing
bowl
, combine flour, yeast, salt, and warm water. Add
olive oil
and knead until soft and slightly elastic.
Let dough rest, covered, for 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
Make the Street Corn Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix crema, mayo, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, and salt until smooth. Set aside.
Assemble the Pizza:
Roll or stretch the dough into a 10–12 inch round and place onto a cast iron pan or preheated pizza stone.
Spread the crema sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
Top with shredded
mozzarella
, roasted corn, red onion, and jalapeño slices if using.
Sprinkle cotija cheese over the top.
Bake:
Bake at 500°F for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Fire-roasted corn adds a smoky flavor—grill fresh corn if possible!
Cotija can be substituted with feta in a pinch.
For extra heat, sprinkle with Tajín or hot sauce before serving.
This pizza pairs beautifully with a cold Mexican lager or a citrusy margarita.
