- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
Corn
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 cup canned sweet corn
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
Sauce
- ¼ cup cilantro coarsely chopped
- 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- ½ cup Mexican crema

Toppings

Instructions
Focaccia Bread
- In a large bowl, combine yeast, water, and sugar. Stir and let it rest 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and garlic.
- Pour half of the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining oil aside.
- Add flour and stir to combine.
- Add dough to a greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Rest for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
Corn
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until toasted and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the corn to cool for a few minutes. Transfer the corn to a separate bowl and wipe down the skillet.
Sauce
- In a small bowl combine cilantro, jalapeño, Mexican crema, lime juice, and chili powder. Stir to combine.
Assembly
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Pour the remaining oil mixture into the cast-iron skillet. Use a pastry brush to coat the pan.
- Add the dough to the pan and work the dough to the edges. Use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
- Top the dough with the sauce, mozzarella cheese, cotija cheese, and finally, the corn.
- Set in the oven to bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Garnish with additional cotija cheese, lime juice, and cilantro. Serve.
