This is my favourite combination and if you’re feeling very indulgent, splurge on a lovely piece of gorgonzola.
INGREDIENTS
½ recipe pizza dough
flavoured oil
3 tablespoons mascarpone
1 x 340 gram jar marinated artichokes
½ small red onion, thinly sliced

Place a pizza stone in the oven and heat for a minimum of 30 minutes or place a heavy-based oven tray in to heat for 10 minutes
