Ingredients

• 1 piece pre-made pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 medium yellow bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 0.75 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned, drained)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 large ripe avocado, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 medium red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.

Step 2

On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving about 1 inch around the edge for the crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Top the pizza with diced yellow and red bell peppers, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the pizza on parchment paper onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 7

While the pizza is baking, prepare the avocado by dicing it and tossing it with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 8

Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Scatter the diced avocado and chopped cilantro across the top.

Step 9

Optionally, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.

Step 10

Slice and serve the pizza immediately, enjoying the combination of fresh and warm ingredients!
