Toppings
1 large corn on the cob
1 large yellow squash, halved & sliced

Instructions
Make the Pizza Dough
In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the water, honey, and yeast. Let sit for about 5 minutes until there is about an inch of froth. Add the olive oil and whisk to combine.
In the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attachment, mix together the flour and salt on low. Slowly add the yeast water to the bowl, pouring around the edges to push the flour down. Slowly increase the speed as the dough forms into a ball. Once a ball is formed, place the speed on high and let it work the dough for about 5 minutes.
Remove the dough from the bowl and form into a ball. Cut in half and form into two even sized balls. Lightly flour a baking sheet and place the two balls on top, spaced several inches apart. Lightly spray with a nonstick cooking spray or, with your hands, very lightly coat the tops with olive oil. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and let the dough sit until doubled in size ~ about 1 hour.
Make the Pizzas
Place a rack in the middle of your oven and place the corn on the cob in the center. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Once at temperature, remove the corn and carefully shuck and cut the corn off of the kernel.
While the oven preheats, heat a nonstick pan over a medium flame. Cook the squash for two to three minutes a side (the goal is to cook off any excess liquid in the squash so it doesn’t make the dough soppy). Add the jalapeños and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Working one pizza at a time, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, turning every few rolls to form a circle about 15 inches in circumference. It does not have to be a perfect circle! Place on a baking sheet.
Rub 2 tablespoons of olive oil and half of the garlic across the top. Add half of the squash, jalapeños, and corn then top with half of the prosciutto, mozzarella, and feta. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the crust is a medium golden brown. While the first pizza bake, prep the second pizza on a separate baking sheet.
Transfer the pizzas to a cutting board. Sprinkle with arugula and slice. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
