Ingredients
- For the Pizza Crust
- ½ cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons white whole wheat flour , divided
- Find-ground cornmeal , for rolling
- For the Pizza
- 1 recipe homemade pizza crust
- 2 ears sweet corn
- 2 tablespoons olive oil , divided
- 2 tablespoons rosemary
- 2 clove garlic , minced
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella , torn or shredded
- 2 ounces gorgonzola , crumbled
Instructions
- To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook (or in a bowl and using a wooden spoon), combine the water, honey and yeast. Let sit until the yeast activates, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the olive oil, sea salt, unbleached all-purpose flour, and ½ cup of the white whole wheat flour. Turn on the mixer and mix until the dough comes together, adding 1 tablespoon of the white whole wheat flour at a time until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and is no longer sticky. Remove from the mixer, cover with a warm damp towel, and place the bowl in a draft-free spot to rise for 1 hour.
- After the initial rise, punch down the dough and preheat the grill to medium-low heat.
- Shuck the corn and remove and silks still left. Rub the corn with ½ tablespoon of the olive oil and place on the grill. Cook, turning occasionally until charred, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat, let cool slightly, then remove the kernels from the cob.
- Sprinkle the cornmeal on a cutting board or pizza peel and turn the dough out onto the cornmeal and roll into a 14-inch circle. Brush the top with ½ of the olive oil. Place the crust olive oil side down on the grill and cook until puffed and browned. Flip and brush the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil onto the dough, then sprinkle on the garlic, rosemary, the cheeses, and charred corn kernels.
- Grill the pizza until the cheese has melted and the crust has a nice char. If the crust is cooking too fast, move the pizza to a cooler part of the grill.
