Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (or homemade for a personal touch)

1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (frozen or canned alternatives work too)

6 slices of crispy bacon, chopped into bite-sized pieces

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a hint of warmth

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)

Fresh basil leaves for a vibrant garnish

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). A hot oven is key for achieving the perfect crust that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

    Prepare the Dough: Flour your workspace and roll out the pre-made or homemade pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a pizza stone or a lined baking sheet, ensuring it is evenly spread.

      Cook the Bacon: In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the chopped bacon and cook until it turns crispy and golden brown. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the pan and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.

        Sauté the Corn: Using the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned. Then add in the sweet corn, along with the smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is lightly caramelized and golden.

          Assemble the Pizza: Spread the sautéed corn mixture evenly over the pizza dough. Layer on the shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by the crispy bacon bits, and finish with crumbles of feta cheese scattered across the top.

            Bake the Pizza: Carefully place the pizza in the preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is a lovely golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

              Garnish and Serve: Once you've removed the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool for about a minute. Garnish generously with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve your Sweet Corn & Bacon Pizza while it’s hot and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
