Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1 large ball of fresh mozzarella torn
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 1 cup corn sliced from the cob
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish
  • 1 recipe Basil Vinaigrette

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 500 degrees. Thirty minutes before cooking the pizza, put your pizza stone in the oven.
  • Divide the pizza dough into 2 even pieces. Stretch each piece of dough in a circular motion, then lay them both out on a flat surface and flatten out using a rolling pin. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle some flour on it and place the stretched out dough on the peel.
  • Once your 2 pizza doughs are flat and ready to be cooked, use a spoon to spread the basil vinaigrette around the dough leaving a little bit for the crust. Lay the halved cherry tomatoes on top of the basil.
  • Tear the mozzarella into pieces and top each pizza with equal amounts of the mozzarella, shredded cheese and corn. Transfer the pizzas into the oven and bake for 12-13 minutes until the crust is golden.
  • Remove pizza from the oven. Season with salt and pepper and additional red pepper flakes if needed, top with fresh basil slice and serve
