Ingredients
- 6 oz Frozen Corn Thawed
- 1 cup Cilantro Loose, not packed
- 1 Ball Pizza Dough 12"
- 1 tbsp Butter Melted
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1.5 cups Mexican-style Cheese Blend
- .5 cups Cotija Cheese Exchange Parmesean if you can't find Cotija
Instructions
- If you are preparing a from-scratch Chipotle Mayo, go ahead and do that first and refrigerate it. If you are using a pre-made Chipotle mayo, start making the pizza.
- If you are using fresh corn as opposed to frozen. Prepare it to your liking, removes the kernels, and let them cool. If you use frozen corn, lay a paper towel on a plate to catch any excess moisture. Frozen corn defrosts pretty quickly, but if you need to speed it up, you can put the corn in a colander and run a little cold water over it for about a minute, stirring the corn as you do so it thaws evenly. Then, let the water drain and lay the corn on a paper towel to catch excess water. It is okay if some of the kernels are still a little icy. They’ll thaw, cook and heat in the oven.
- Wash the cilantro, shake off excess water, and lay it out in an even layer on a clean kitchen towel, so it can dry off.
- Preheat your oven according to your dough instructions.
- Brush your pizza pan with some melted butter. Then mix the chili powder and paprika into the rest of the butter.
- Roll this pizza dough out with a rolling pin and then dock it. You can use a fork to dock it if you don’t have a docker. This is an optional step, but I don’t want the pizza to get too poofy in the oven. The toppings are not too heavy and can get a little inflated if not docked.
- Prepared the dough and place it on the pan.
- Brush the remaining butter mixed with chili powder and paprika on top of the dough.
- Spread your cheese blend over the top.
- Spread the corn over the top.
- Bake your pizza according to the baking instructions. Our Easy Peasy Dough takes 20 minutes.
- While the pizza is baking, make your topping. Take the cilantro, and remove the leaves from the stems, then finely chop the leaves. Then mix the chopped leaves with the Chipotle Mayo and Cotija cheese.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, let it sit, and cool for 5 minutes.
- Gently spread the mayo mixture over the top, slice, and serve!
