Time 52m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Vegetable oil cooking spray
2 (8.5-ounce) boxes cornbread mix (recommended: Jiffy)
1/2 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, at room temperature
10 large pimiento-stuffed green olives, coarsely chopped to yield 1/2 cup
5 scallions, light green and white parts only, finely chopped to yield 1/2 cup
1 cup grated mozzarella

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Liberally spray an 8-by-8-inch glass baking dish with vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the cornbread mix, buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, olives, scallions, and cheese until the mixture forms a thick, lumpy batter. Using a spatula spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Allow the cornbread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.

When cooked and cooled, use the excess parchment paper as handles to remove the cornbread from the pan. Peel away the parchment paper and cut into squares.

CORNMEAL PIZZA CRUST



Cornmeal Pizza Crust image

The dough can be made the night before and then formed into rounds just before the party. Set out a variety of toppings in bowls, and let guests assemble their own pizzas before baking them. We particularly like roasted tomatoes with fresh mozzarella cheese, and thinly sliced baby artichokes and eggplant with grated Asiago cheese. Pureed butternut squash, caramelized red onions, grated fontina cheese, and toasted pumpkin seeds make for an unexpected but perfectly delicious autumnal pie.

Yield Makes 4 seven-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Pinch of sugar
2/3 cups warm water
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
1/4 cup cornmeal, plus more for pizza peel or baking sheet
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl
Roasted Tomatoes, optional topping
Easy Butternut Squash Puree, optional topping
Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, optional topping
Caramelized Onions, optional topping

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast and sugar over the warm water. Let stand until yeast is dissolved and mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine flour, cornmeal, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and add the yeast mixture and oil. Slowly stir ingredients with a wooden spoon just until dough starts to come together. Turn out dough on a lightly floured work surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Divide dough into four 4-ounce balls. Place balls in a shallow oiled bowl, turning to coat with oil; cover with plastic wrap, and let rise 1 hour at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees with a pizza stone on lowest rack. Stretch dough into 6- or 7-inch rounds. Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza peel or inverted baking sheet. Place dough rounds on top, and cover with toppings, as desired.
  • Slide rounds onto pizza stone, and bake until crust is crisp and golden and toppings are bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, use a cast iron skillet or a pizza stone.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Be sure to use fresh mozzarella cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you like a lot of cheese, feel free to add more to the top of the pizza before baking.
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

Mozzarella cornbread pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a crispy cornbread crust, melted mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone.
