- If youre using a pizza stone, place it on a center rack in a cold oven.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Sift together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add water and mix with a fork until a dough is formed.
- You may have to abandon the fork and switch to using your hands before a dough is fully formed.
- Dough should be slightly sticky.
- Knead lightly on a floured surface for about five minutes.
- Form dough into a ball and cover with a damp cloth while you prepare the rest of your pizza ingredients.
- Grate cheese, chop onions, and cut the corn kernels from the cob.
- Set aside.
- Cook your chopped bacon in a skillet over medium heat until fat has rendered and it gets a bit crispy, then set it aside on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
- Leave about one tablespoon of grease in the pan (discard the rest of the grease).
- Return pan to the heat and add corn kernels.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until corn is lightly toasted.
- Remove corn from pan and set aside.
- Cut dough in half and, working with one half at a time, roll the dough out on a floured surface until dough is about 1/4 thick.
- Each half of the dough should yield a rectangular flatbread about 12x8.
- Sprinkle cornmeal on a cutting board without any grooves and gently lay the flatbread on the board.
- Spread half of the barbecue sauce onto the crust, leaving an edge of about 1/2 all the way around.
- Sprinkle on half of the bacon, onion, corn, and cheddar.
- Open the oven and pull out the rack with the pizza stone on it.
- Carefully slide the pizza from the cutting board to the stone using a flat spatula.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is browned around the edges.

- When its done remove pizza from the oven to a cutting board and slice into 8-10 pieces, depending on your preference.
