Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 ears of corn, husked
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup cornmeal, or flour
  • 1 (4-inch) ball prepared dough, let rise to room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 ounces store-bought basil pesto
  • 4 ounces Brie, cut in thin slices
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Method

  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saute pan over medium heat.
  • Stand corn on its end in the pan and cut kernels directly into the pan.
  • Add red bell pepper and cook for 10 minutes, or until corn begins to brown.
  • Remove from heat and reserve.
  • Sprinkle your rolling surface with a handful of cornmeal or flour.
  • Place the dough in the middle of the surface.
  • Roll dough out gently 1/4-inch thick, into either a 12-inch rectangle or circle.
  • Brush both sides with olive oil and set aside until ready to grill.
  • If you are grilling on a charcoal grill, set coals on one side of the grill.
  • Place dough directly on the cooking grate over medium heat for 1 to 3 minutes, until the crust is well marked and browned.
  • Flip dough and spread pesto evenly over crust.
  • Sprinkle corn and bell pepper over top, then place cheese over the top.
  • Move to indirect heat (for charcoal: the side of charcoal grill that has no coals.
  • For gas: turn off burner directly under pizza).
  • Cover grill and cook for 5 to10 minutes, or until bottom is well browned, and cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from grill, season with salt and pepper and slice.
  • Serve immediately
