Smoky Vegetable Pizzettas

1 16-ounce loaf frozen bread dough
1 6- to 6-1/2-ounce jar marinated
  artichoke hearts
12 thin wedges red onion
6 thin slices eggplant, cut in
  half crosswise
2 cups shredded smoked Gouda
  cheese (8 ounces)
12 slices plum tomato
4 green onions, thinly sliced (1/2
  cup)
1 Tbs snipped fresh rosemary
1 Tbs snipped fresh basil

Directions
1 Thaw bread according to package directions. Heat oven
   to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil; grease foil.
   Set baking sheet aside.
2 Drain artichoke hearts, reserving marinade. Quarter
   artichoke hearts (if necessary, cut larger pieces of artichoke hearts
   in half to get total of 12 pieces); set aside. Place red onion wedges
   and eggplant slices on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush with some of
   the reserved artichoke marinade (discard any remaining marinade).
   Bake red onion and eggplant in oven for 10 minutes (do not turn).
   Remove from oven; set aside.

3 Meanwhile, cut the thawed bread dough into 12 equal
   pieces; form each piece into a ball. On a lightly floured surface,
   flatten each ball and roll out to a 4-inch circle. Place dough
   circles on lightly greased large cookie sheets. Prick circles
   generously with fork.
4 Sprinkle 1 cup of the Gouda cheese evenly over dough
   circles. Arrange one half-slice of eggplant, one red onion wedge, one
   artichoke quarter, and one slice of tomato on each dough circle.
   Sprinkle green onion and rosemary over circles. Top circles with
   remaining Gouda cheese. Bake about 10 minutes or until edges are
   lightly browned. Remove from oven; sprinkle with snipped fresh basil.
