Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow squash, sliced
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1/2 cup ranch dressing
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 4 roma tomatoes, sliced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
Instructions
- For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 °F for 5 minutes. Turn the oven off.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup warm water (105 to 115 °F), yeast and salt; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour, sugar, Italian seasoning and oil. Loosely cover, and let rise in a warm oven until the dough is doubled in size, about 1 hour. Remove the dough from the oven.
- Sprinkle some cornmeal on a 14-inch pizza pan. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 6 to 8 times. Pat the dough onto the prepared pizza pan to make a 14-inch pizza crust. Let rise in a warm place (about 85 °), free from drafts, for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 °F.
- Bake the pizza crust until no longer wet, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool for 10 minutes.
- For the topping: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions, squash and zucchini and saute until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
- Combine the cream cheese, ranch dressing, sour cream and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Arrange the vegetables and the tomatoes over the cheese, then top with basil leaves. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and garlic. Top with the mozzarella and Parmesan and bake directly on the oven rack until golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into wedges.
- Cook's Note: You can use store bought pizza dough for this recipe.
