Divide into 12 even pieces. On lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into thin 10-inch oval. Brush lightly with olive oil; grill oiled-side down. Reduce heat to low. Turn dough over; top each round with 2 pear slices, 3 T. crumbled Gorgonzola, 2 T. prosciutto and 1 T. shaved Parmesan. Drizzle each flatbread with olive oil; sprinkle with rosemary and pepper. Put lid down on grill to cover flatbreads until cheese melts. Remove from grill. Let stand 2-3 minutes. Cut; serve on small cutting board. Top each flatbread with 1 cup lightly dressed arugula.
