Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for pie plate
12 ounces pizza dough, thawed if frozen
1/2 cup thinly sliced, well washed leeks (white and light-green parts only)
1 1/2 cups packed baby spinach
Red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and pepper
2 tablespoons pesto
2 ounces fresh goat cheese
Fresh basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Coat a 9-inch glass pie plate with olive oil. Stretch dough to an 8-inch round, then press into bottom and up sides of plate. If dough springs back, let rest 5 minutes before continuing.
  • Combine leeks, spinach, and a pinch each of red-pepper flakes and salt.
  • Spread dough with pesto, top with leek mixture, and dot with goat cheese.
  • Drizzle pizza with oil. Season with salt and pepper. Bake until cooked through and crust is crisp and golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with basil. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
