Ingredients

• 1 pound pizza dough
• 0.5 cup barbecue sauce
• 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 medium red onion
• 1 small red bell pepper
• 1 small green bell pepper
• 0.5 cup sweet corn
• 0.25 cup sliced black olives
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

Slice the red onion into thin rings. Cut the red and green bell peppers into thin strips.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the red onion and bell peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they're just tender. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or a baking sheet for an extra crispy crust.

Step 5

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the peel or baking sheet. Spread the barbecue sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the barbecue sauce.

Step 7

Distribute the sautéed onions and peppers, sweet corn, and sliced black olives over the cheese layer.

Step 8

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.

Step 9

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Step 11

Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before slicing and serving.
