Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 ball fresh pizza dough, I highly recommend using the recipe I linked to in the beginning of the post, but any crust will do ;)
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • Coarse kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 slices thick bacon, cooked crispy then roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup freshly shucked corn
  • 8 ounces whole-milk mozzarella cheese, coarsely grated
  • Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Instruction

  • Stretch pizza dough out to desired shape and place on baking sheet/baking stone. Sprinkle with parmesan, red pepper, and salt; drizzle with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.
  • Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 10 - 12 minutes, or until soft and sweet. Remove onions with a slotted spoon. Add bacon to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until brown and crispy. Transfer bacon to a paper towel lined sheet and cool for a minute or so before roughly chopping. Add corn kernels to the same pan (which should be nice and full of yummy bacon grease) and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until just golden. Remove kernels from pan with a slotted spoon.
  • Top prepared pizza crust with onions, bacon, and corn, then top with cheese.
  • Bake for about 18 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and the cheese is golden and bubbling. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro if using, cut, and serve at once!
