Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough {store-bought or homemade link to my recipe is above}
  • 1 ear of corn on the cob
  • 1 medium zucchini sliced
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1-2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 5 oz fresh mozzarella
  • 1 cup fresh arugula
  • ΒΌ cup freshly grated parmesan
  • *for the smokey mayo*
  • 2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 550F. If you have a pizza stone, make sure it's in the oven so it can preheat.
  • First, prepare the corn. Clean the corn, husk it and remove all silks. If you have an outdoor grill, you can char it for a few minutes until it has nice grill marks. Otherwise, you can also do the same thing indoors with a grill pan or cast iron skillet. If doing it indoors, be sure to add a little bit of vegetable oil for ease of cooking. When ready, set aside to cool. When cold enough to handle, carefully use a knife to cut off the kernels.
  • On a piece of parchment paper, spread out the pizza dough into a rough circle. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on about half of the smoked paprika and the garlic salt.
  • Arrange the zucchini slices on the pizza, followed by your charred corn and the mozzarella. Add a little drizzle of extra olive oil and salt, and bake for 7-8 minutes, until pizza is golden brown and puffy.
  • While the pizza cooks, prepare the mayo drizzle. Simply combine the mayonnaise and smoked paprika in a small bowl and set aside until needed.
  • When pizza is ready, top with the arugula, grated parmesan, and smokey mayo. Enjoy immediately!
