Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Fine cornmeal
- 0.5 cups All-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular all-purpose flour if preferred)
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups Water, lukewarm
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Corn kernels (optional, for texture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the lukewarm water, olive oil, and eggs. Stir the mixture until a thick, wet batter forms. If desired, fold in the corn kernels for added texture.
Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan and spread it out evenly into a circle or rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it is slightly firm to the touch and lightly golden around the edges.
Carefully remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful corn crust pizza!
