Pizza Capricciosa - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or 2 tablespoons cornmeal, to work with dough
    1 pizza dough
    extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
    coarse salt
    1/2 cup tomato sauce
    1/4 cup basil leaves, shredded (10 leaves)
    1/2 - 3/4 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, very thinly sliced
    6 cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
    1 (14 ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
    1/4 lb prosciutto di Parma, cut crosswise, into 2-inch slices
    1/2 cup frozen green pea
    2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 425.
    Dust the dough with the flour or cornmeal and stretch out to a 12-13\" pizza. Place the dough on a pizza tray and pierce it with the tines of a fork. Drizzle with EVOO, season with a little salt, and bake 10 minutes.
    Remove the crust from the oven and top with the tomato sauce, basil, a thin layer of the mozzarella, the mushrooms, and artichokes.
    Bake another 10 minutes, or until the cheese bubbles and the crust is crisp. In the last 5 minutes of baking, add the prosciutto, peas, and eggs and another drizzle of EVOO.
