For dough

2 cups all-purpose flour

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)

1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves or 1/2 teaspoon

    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
