Instructions
roasted tomatoes recipe
preheat oven to 275 degrees.
line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
place tomatoes, cut side up, on top of paper.
drizzle honey over tomatoes.
sprinkle garlic and a pinch each salt and pepper over honey. drizzle olive oil over tomatoes (2 passes of bottle).
place in preheated oven and roast for 3 hours.
remove from oven, scrape tomatoes and all juices into small bowl.
drizzle additional olive oil over tomatoes.
cover with saran wrap. store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
cornmeal crust recipe
add water to bowl of upright mixer and sprinkle yeast over top.
using the paddle attachment, mix until yeast has dissolved.
add salt, olive oil and honey and mix to combine.
add flour and process just until incorporated.
add the cornmeal and process until incorporated.
process an additional minute until the dough has formed into a ball. do not over mix.
remove dough from bowl, form into 4 smooth balls of equal size and place in an oiled bowl.
turn balls a few times to ensure they are totally covered in oil, cover bowl with saran wrap and place in a warm area. allow to rise until doubled in size 45 minutes to 1 hour.
remove from bowl and place on a lightly floured counter.
use a rolling pin to roll out dough into free form circles. each pizza crust should be about 1/2 inch thick.
place on pizza stone or baking sheet which has been lightly oiled with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkled with coarse cornmeal. (the cornmeal adds a delicious flavor and helps ensure the pizza dough will not stick to pan.)

drizzle pizza rounds with olive oil and lightly sprinkle with coarse grey salt.
sprinkle corn kernels, pickled garlic, marinated tomatoes and mozzarella over pizza....customize the amount of each topping to your liking.
