Sweet Corn & Cheese Pizza

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Corn pizza, often called 'Pizza Mimosa' in Italy (sometimes with cream), is a favorite among kids and teens. While controversial to some, the natural sweetness of the corn concentrates during baking, and the kernels become pleasantly crisp. The secret is balance: salty cheese and acidic tomatoes counteract the corn's sugar.

Instructions

1 ✓

Drain the corn liquid and spread kernels on a paper towel to dry.

Tip: Moisture is the enemy of pizza: it creates steam that prevents browning.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough. If taking it from the fridge, let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Tip: Cold dough is inelastic; resting relaxes the gluten, allowing you to stretch it without tearing.
3 ✓

Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Too much sauce acts as a barrier and makes the dough soggy.
4 ✓

Scatter the dried corn and cheeses on top.

Tip: The corn sugars caramelize in high heat; the cheese fat helps distribute flavor.
5 ✓

Drizzle with olive oil and bake at 425-480°F (220-250°C) for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: Oil improves heat transfer and protects toppings from drying out.
6 ✓

Add fresh basil after baking.

Tip: Basil is heat-sensitive; its essential oils evaporate and leaves blacken if baked.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the corn make the pizza soggy?
Canned corn contains a lot of water. It must be drained thoroughly and even patted dry with paper towels before use.
What temperature should I bake at?
As high as possible (425-480°F), so the dough rises quickly and the cheese browns before the vegetables dry out.
