Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Polenta (cornmeal)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, and brush or spray it lightly with oil.
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and gradually whisk in the polenta while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the polenta thickens and pulls away from the side of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor of the crust.
Carefully transfer the hot polenta to the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Use a spatula or lightly oiled hands to spread it out evenly into a circular or rectangular crust about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the crust and spread it gently to ensure even crispiness during baking.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the surface feels set and slightly firm to the touch.
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the cheese (if used) is melted and bubbly.
Slice the polenta pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy!
