Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 batch pizza dough (homemade or store-bought, enough for a 12-inch pizza)

Toppings

  • 45 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute cheese types according to preference, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend.
  • The cornmeal batter adds a unique crunch and corn dog flavor, but for a lighter option, you can skip this step.
  • 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.
