Ingredients

  • 2 pizza doughs (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix)
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Prepare the Dough: Roll out each pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
  4. Assemble the Pizzas: Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over each pizza dough. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the sauce on each pizza. Distribute the corn kernels and crumbled bacon evenly over the cheese.
  5. Season and Drizzle: Drizzle a bit of olive oil over each pizza, then sprinkle with dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  6. Bake the Pizzas: Transfer the pizzas to the oven. If using a pizza stone, use a pizza peel to slide the pizzas onto the stone. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve hot.

This Bacon, Corn, and Cheese Pizza is a delightful combination of flavors that will make pizza night extra special. The sweetness of the corn contrasts beautifully with the salty bacon and gooey cheese, creating a pizza that's both comforting and unique. Enjoy!
