Summer Vegetable Pizza

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Position an oven rack in the next-to-lowest setting and place a 16-inch pizza pan on the rack to heat.
  • Prepare the Vegetable Mixture:
    • In a large nonstick skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the sliced onions and thyme, cooking for about 3 minutes or until the onions are tender, stirring occasionally.
    • Add the diced eggplant, bell pepper, and minced garlic to the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    • Stir in the corn, and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more, or until the mixture is heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Roll Out the Dough:
    • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 16-inch circle.
  • Assemble the Pizza:
    • Carefully remove the heated pizza pan from the oven. Coat the pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
    • Place the rolled-out dough on the prepared pan. Arrange the mozzarella slices evenly over the dough.
    • Spread the corn and vegetable mixture evenly over the mozzarella, then sprinkle the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese on top.
  • Bake the Pizza:
    • Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 23 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is starting to brown.
    • Remove the pizza from the oven and arrange the halved cherry tomatoes evenly over the top. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Finish and Serve:
    • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil before slicing and serving.
