Ingredients
Crust:
Cornmeal, for dusting
Flour, for dusting
1 (1 pound) ball store-bought pizza dough
Topping:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 leeks, pale green and white parts only, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces baby spinach leaves
1 (4-ounce) chunk feta cheese, crumbled (recommended: Athenos)
3/4 cup chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
Directions
- For the crust: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Dust a heavy baking sheet with cornmeal. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle about 16 inches long and 8 inches wide. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- For the topping: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. In batches, add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the feta cheese and mint. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Using the tines of a fork, prick the surface of the dough all over. Spread the spinach mixture on top and dot with butter.
- Bake until the dough is golden and crunchy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
