Ingredients

Units
  • 0.5 batch pizza , — from pasta dough recipe
  • 1.5 tablespoons
  • 1 small onion, — very thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mozzarella, — cut into 1inch cubes
  • 2 slices cut in half
  • 4 artichoke hearts, — marinated in oil and sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F. 

  2. 2

    Lightly a baking sheet and dust with cornmeal. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough into a 7-inch circle. Now, using the heels of your hands and working from the center outwards, press out the circle to a diameter of about 12 inches. Transfer to the baking sheet. Brush the entire surface lightly with olive oil.

  3. 3
    Spread the onion and mozzarella over one half of the pizza dough, leaving a narrow border around the edge. Roll the half slices of Prosciutto into little tubes and place on top of the cheese. Top with the artichokes slices, and then well.
  4. 4
    Fold the plain side of the dough over the filling to make a half moon shape. Match the cut edges and press them firmly together to seal. Fold them over and pressed into a scrolled pattern to thoroughly seal in the filling. Brush the surface with a little more oil, then transfer to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes until the crust is golden.
