Jenny's Tips: -
- Fontina is a creamy, melting cheese but provolone, gruyere, and gouda cheeses may all be substituted for fontina.
- For a extra taste sensation marinate the artichoke overnight in olive oil with garlic, herbs and lemon juice before scattering them on the flatbread.
Aleppo Chili Pepper

Garlic Powder Granulated
