Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Fine cornmeal
• 0.5 cups All-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular all-purpose flour if preferred)
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2 cups Water, lukewarm
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Corn kernels (optional, for texture)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a pizza pan or baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the lukewarm water, olive oil, and eggs. Stir the mixture until a thick, wet batter forms. If desired, fold in the corn kernels for added texture.

Step 4

Spoon the batter onto the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan and spread it out evenly into a circle or rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until it is slightly firm to the touch and lightly golden around the edges.

Step 6

Carefully remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 7

Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your crispy and flavorful corn crust pizza!
