Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Prepare the dough. If using homemade dough, place it in a greased bowl and cover for 1 hour to rise.
  2. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Make sure your baking sheet or pizza stone is ready.
  3. Prepare the toppings by mixing ricotta, lemon zest, sea salt, and pepper in one bowl. In another bowl, combine corn, Fresno chili, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  4. Par-bake the dough with a layer of cornmeal for 8 mins to firm it up without browning.
  5. Spread the ricotta mixture on the crust, then add mozzarella and corn topping evenly.
  6. Return to the oven for 10-12 mins until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven, add basil pesto and smoked paprika, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve.
