Preparation

  1. Pizza Dough

    Step 1

    Pour warm water into large bowl; sprinkle yeast over. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and salt. Mix in 3 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition, until sticky dough forms. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth, adding more flour if very sticky, about 6 minutes.

    Step 2

    Coat large bowl with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; add dough and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, then kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draftfree area until doubled, about 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Sprinkle 2 large baking sheets with cornmeal. Divide dough into 6 equal portions. Transfer to floured surface and roll out each to 7-inch round. Transfer to prepared baking sheets. Let stand while preparing topping.

    Step 4

    Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450°F.

  2. Pizza Topping

    Step 5

    Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add peas; sauté 1 minute. Add 4 teaspoons water to skillet and cook until evaporated. Transfer peas to bowl.

    Step 6

    Heat 3 tablespoons oil in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; sauté until onions are golden brown, about 15 minutes longer.

    Step 7

    Divide onions, prosciutto, Gruyère, and peas among pizza crusts. Bake until golden and beginning to crisp, about 17 minutes. Divide sprouts among pizzas.
