    Serves 2, with enough leftover dough for 2 more pizzette

Ingredients

cornmeal for sprinkling baking sheet

For dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
a 1/4-ounce package fast-acting yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup hot water (130°F.)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
olive oil for brushing pizzette
1/3 cup crumbled Gorgonzola (about 1 1/2 ounces)
2/3 cup finely diced mozzarella (about 3 ounces)
1/2 medium red onion, sliced thin (about 2/3 cup)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1/2 teaspoon
dried rosemary, crumbled
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 500°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet and sprinkle with cornmeal.

  2. Make dough:

    Step 2

    In a food processor combine 1 cup flour, yeast, and sugar and with motor running add water. Turn motor off and add remaining dough ingredients. Process mixture until it forms a ball and process 15 seconds more to knead it.

    Step 3

    Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 times. Reserves half of dough for making 2 more pizzette another time, wrapping it in a sealable plastic bag, pressing out excess air, and chilling or freezing. Reserved dough keeps, chilled, 1 day or, frozen, 1 month.

  3. Step 4

    Halve remaining dough and on lightly floured surface roll out each half into an 8-inch round. Transfer rounds to baking sheet and brush lightly with oil. Top rounds evenly with remaining ingredients and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 5

    Bake pizzette in lower third of oven 10 to 12 minutes, or until crusts are golden and cheese is golden and bubbling.
