Caramelized Onion & Artichoke Pizza - cooking recipe

Ingredients

cornmeal, for pan
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups onions, thinly sliced
2 cups frozen artichoke hearts, thawed and sliced
1 cup sliced red bell pepper, sliced thin
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
salt & freshly ground black pepper
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
1 lb pizza dough (store-bought frozen or from local Pizza Shop)
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Preparation

Set oven rack in lowest position; preheat oven to 500\u00b0F (or the highest setting).
Sprinkle a pizza pan or baking sheet generously with cornmeal; set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
Add onions & red pepper strips and cook, stirring, until softened and golden, about 10 minutes.
Add artichoke hearts, rosemary, and a sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes, (if you choose.)
Continue to cook, stirring, until the artichokes are tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14-inch circle or a 15-by-10-inch rectangle.
Transfer the dough to the prepared pan.
Distribute the onions and artichokes over the dough; add another sprinkling of crushed red pepper flakes(if you choose.).
Bake the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottom and edges are browned.
Sprinkle cheese over the top, slice and serve.
Serve cheese on the side, a salad of baby greens salad with a vinaigrette dressing, a loaf of crusty rustic warm bread slathered with butter and a fruit salad.
