Equipment

stove-top grill pan

Ingredients

16 ounces pizza dough store-bought or homemade
1 ear sweet corn
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 slices bacon cooked and chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 scallions chopped
parsley, basil or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 475℉. Bring the pizza dough to room temperature while charring the corn.
Grill the corn until slightly charred on all sides. Slice the corn off of the cob. Set aside.
Shape the pizza dough onto a rectangle on a sheet pan lightly brushed with oil. Spread the shredded Fontina and mozzarella cheese over the dough. Top with corn, bacon, and pine nuts.
Bake for 11-15 minutes until golden brown. Top with the scallions and herbs, if desired. Slice and serve.

Notes

Bring the pizza dough to room temperature to make it easier to shape.
Always add cooked bacon to the pizza. Uncooked bacon won't have time to cook completely,
Use freshly grated/shredded cheese for the best results. Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents and doesn't melt as well as freshly shredded.
