Ingredients
- 1 cup Polenta (cornmeal)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper, and brush or spray it lightly with oil.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the salt and gradually whisk in the polenta while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the polenta thickens and pulls away from the side of the pan.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor of the crust.
Step 5
Carefully transfer the hot polenta to the prepared baking sheet or pizza pan. Use a spatula or lightly oiled hands to spread it out evenly into a circular or rectangular crust about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
Step 6
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the crust and spread it gently to ensure even crispiness during baking.
Step 7
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the surface feels set and slightly firm to the touch.
Step 8
Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired pizza toppings. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-8 minutes, or until the toppings are cooked and the cheese (if used) is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Slice the polenta pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy!
