Ingredients




1 recipe pizza dough
cornmeal, for dusting
6 ounces dolce gorgonzola, cut in small pieces
24 fresh sage leaves

Preparation

1 Heat oven to 450F. Heat a pizza stone in oven for at least 30 minutes, or preheat a large baking sheet for 15 minutes. Place discs of dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll out or stretch into 1/4-inch thick circles 7inches in diameter. 2 Place one circle of dough on a wooden peel that has been dusted with cornmeal (or use a large spatula). Using the tine of a fork, pierce the surface of the dough numerous times. Arrange about an eighth of the cheese on the dough. 3 Slide dough onto hot pizza stone or baking sheet and bake until crust is just starting to brown around the edges, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove pizza from oven and arrange another eighth of the cheese and 6 sage leaves on top. 4 Return to oven and cook until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbling, about 3 more minutes. Cut pizza into six pieces and serve immediately. 5 Repeat process three times with remaining dough, Gorgonzola, and sage.
