Ingredients
Pizza Base
- 1 batch pizza dough (homemade or store-bought, enough for a 12-inch pizza)
Toppings
- 4–5 hot dogs, sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Cornmeal Batter
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Prepare the Pizza Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone to about 12 inches in diameter. Make sure it is evenly spread and ready to hold toppings.
- Add Hot Dogs and Cheese: Evenly distribute the sliced hot dogs over the dough, then sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top to cover the hot dogs and dough surface.
- Prepare Cornmeal Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add milk and egg, stirring until you have a smooth, thick batter.
- Apply Batter: Carefully spoon or drizzle the cornmeal batter over the pizza toppings, spreading lightly to create an even layer without smothering the toppings completely.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and crisp, the batter has set and browned slightly, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm for a delightful combination of corn dog flavors and cheesy pizza goodness.

- If you want extra crispiness, pre-toast the pizza dough slightly before adding toppings.
- Serve with mustard or ketchup for an authentic corn dog experience.
- Store leftover pizza in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture retention.
