Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/4 cup unbleached bread flour
1/2 cup cornmeal, (polenta)
1 tbl yeast
1 tbl olive oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
3/4 cup warm water, up to 1, up to
40 gm butter
2 x leeks, white & pale green part only
1/2 cup Italian parsley
4 x Roma tomatoes, diced
100 gm soft goats cheese
2 tbl olive oil
4 tbl toasted pine nuts
Instructions:
Instructions: Mix the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, yeast and olive oil together with the water and stir well until the mixture forms a shaggy mass. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead, adding flour if necessary, until the dough is silky and elastic. About 10 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl to rise for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the topping. Slice the leeks and rinse very well.

Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan and saute the leeks until golden, about 10 minutes. Add the parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Allow to cool.

When the dough has risen, roll it out to fit 1 large pizza tray, 1 rectangular oven tray or 4 small individual size pizzas. The dough should be quite thin.

Spread the cooled leek mixture on the pizza base and sprinkle the fresh tomato dice over. Dot the goats cheese over the pizza and drizzle with the olive oil.

Finish with pine nuts and basil leaves.

Bake in a preheated oven at 250c. for 20 - 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling has set.
