Instructions
Preparation:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your
oven
to 500°F (260°C) with the pizza stone or steel inside. Let it heat for at least 30 minutes.
Roast the Corn:
If using fresh corn, roast it in a hot skillet or grill pan until lightly charred. Cool and cut off the kernels.
Prep the Dough:
Lightly flour your surface and stretch or roll the dough into a 10–12-inch circle. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Assembly & Baking:
Add the Sauce:
Brush
olive oil
evenly across the dough. Sprinkle minced garlic and sea salt over it.
Layer the Cheese:
Add shredded
mozzarella
, followed by corn, sliced jalapeños, diced red onions, and crumbled cotija.
Bake:
Transfer the pizza onto the hot stone/steel and bake for 10–12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese bubbly.
Finish & Garnish:
Remove from the oven. Sprinkle fresh cilantro, a dash of chili-lime seasoning (if using), and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Notes
For even more flavor, char the corn over open flame if you have a gas stove.
Swap cotija for goat cheese for a tangy variation.
Want a smoky twist? Add a drizzle of chipotle crema after baking.
