Ingredients

For Pizza Sauce:

  • 1 (8 ounce / 227 gram) can tomato sauce
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • kosher salt, to taste

For Topping Pizza:

  • extra virgin olive oil (or nonstick cooking spray)
  • 1 ball pizza dough
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 ounces / 227 grams)
  • ½ medium zucchini, thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ear corn, kernels removed (about ¾ cup)
  • ½ cup basil leaves, thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) crumbled goat cheese

Equipment

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare Pizza Sauce:

  • Combine tomato sauce, parmesan, garlic, basil, oregano, and crushed pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix well and season to taste with salt. Set aside.

Prepare Pizza:

  • Lightly brush pizza pan with olive oil (or spray with nonstick spray), then top with pizza dough. Use your hands to press dough across pan.
  • Top dough with a light layer of sauce (you will probably have leftovers).
  • Sprinkle sauce with ¾ of the mozzarella cheese.
  • Layer zucchini, tomatoes (cut side up), and corn over cheese (in that order).
  • Cover vegetables with remaining mozzarella, then sprinkle goat cheese over pizza.
  • Bake pizza until crust is browned and top is golden (about 20 to 25 minutes).
  • Let pizza cool for about 5 minutes, then sprinkle with basil, cut into wedges, and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

Dough - If your pizza dough contracts and resists holding its shape when pressing it onto the pan, let the dough rest for few minutes before continuing. Resting the dough relaxes the gluten, making it easier to spread.
Cheese - Not a fan of goat cheese? You can use feta cheese instead.
Extra Sauce - Use the extra pizza sauce to make an english muffin or a tortilla pizza, or serve it as a dipping sauce.
