White Pizza With Corn

 
I saw this recipe in a recent Food Network magazine and thought I would give it a try.  I actually marked SEVERAL recipes in this particular edition, so you may see more.

 
Anyway, this one looked super simple to make, and it was so I tried it first.

Verdict:  DELICIOUS!!  This tasted even better than I expected.  I am so disappointed when I try a new recipe and it isn't all that great (or worse, it is bad), but luckily, this one was a keeper.

I revised it a bit to make it a bit easier for me.  Unfortunately, I didn't have any fresh basil, I wish I had because it would have been even better! 

WHITE PIZZA WITH CORN

SERVES: 4

1 Package of refrigerated Pillsbury Classic Pizza Dough

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

1 clove garlic, minced ounces fresh 

8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced

1cup raw corn kernels (I used 1/2 package Bird's Eye Fire Roasted Corn Kernals)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Kosher salt

Fresh basil, for topping

 

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.  Place parchment paper on baking sheet.

2. Open pizza dough and unroll onto parchment paper.

3. Drizzle the dough with olive oil and rub into the dough.

4.Top with the garlic, mozzarella, corn kernels and Parmesan.

5. Drizzle with more olive oil and season with salt.

6. Bake the pizza for 10 minutes at 400F, until edges of crust are lightly brown

7. Top with fresh basil

 

Man, oh, man, it was good.  I saw another recipe on Food Network's website that included grape tomatoes - that would be a great topping and I found yet another one that included chopped smoked bacon.  I am sure that would be good too, but I rather like the fact that it is a vegetarian pizza so I probably wouldn't add bacon, but I can see how that would be good.
