Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 1 small green bell pepper
- 0.5 cup sweet corn
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Slice the red onion into thin rings. Cut the red and green bell peppers into thin strips.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they're just tender. Remove from heat.
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or a baking sheet for an extra crispy crust.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the peel or baking sheet. Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the barbecue sauce.
Distribute the sautéed onions and peppers, sweet corn, and sliced black olives over the cheese layer.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before slicing and serving.
