I've made this a few times now...so good. I use a homemade white whole wheat crust, this most recent time fermented overnight and slipped onto a hot round stone with a pizza peel. The best ever! There's lots of room for experimentation; one could easily add bacon or try pepper-jack cheese. I don't get to make this often as my husband doesn't eat peppers or onions, but this recipe will remain permanently earmarked.
Roasted Fresh Corn, Poblano, and Cheddar Pizza
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Refrigerated dough tends to shrink when removed from the can. Let the dough rest a few minutes before you start to work with it so it will be more pliable.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 pizza piece, 1 teaspoon sour cream, and 1 teaspoon cilantro)
