Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Dough:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

¾ tsp salt

¾ cup warm water (approximately 110°F)

1 tbsp olive oil

For the Pizza Topping:

1 cup fresh sweet corn kernels (fresh or canned)

1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough:

    - In a small mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is activated.

      - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the frothy yeast mixture and the olive oil, mixing until a cohesive dough begins to form.

        - Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Transfer the kneaded dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and place it in a warm environment to rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.

          Preheat the Oven:

            - While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.

              Prepare the Toppings:

                - In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced zucchini and sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from heat and set aside.

                  - In a separate bowl, combine the sweet corn kernels with dried oregano, salt, and pepper, mixing well to ensure the flavors distribute evenly.

                    Assemble the Pizza:

                      - After the dough has risen, gently punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into your desired shape—either round or rectangular—to fit your pizza stone or baking sheet.

                        - Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven. Lay the rolled-out dough onto the heated surface.

                          - Spread an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the sautéed zucchini slices. Evenly scatter the seasoned sweet corn mixture over the top, and finally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

                            Bake:

                              - Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned.

                                Serve:

                                  - Once baked, carefully remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh basil leaves. Slice into wedges and enjoy!
