Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound pizza dough
  • Flour for sprinkling
  • 1 large leek, (white and light green parts), halved and thinly sliced into half-moons (about 3 oz. or 1 cup) or 2 medium shallots, chopped
  • 3–5 medium red or Yukon Gold potatoes (about 11 oz.), sliced very thinly
  • 1 teaspoon fresh or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 2½ tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Cornmeal for sprinkling
  • 4 oz. sharp cheddar, grated

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450° and if you have one, place pizza stone on center rack.
  2. Remove dough from wrapper, set on a floured surface and let rest for 20 minutes.
  3. While dough is resting and oven is preheating, slice leeks (or shallots) and potatoes and toss them in a bowl with thyme, salt, pepper, and 1½ Tbsp. of the olive oil.
  4. Roll dough into a ¼-inch-thick circle or to match the size of your pizza stone or pizza pan. Place dough on pizza peel or large baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal to keep it from sticking.
  5. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top of dough. Spread potato mixture over dough, separating pieces with your fingers to make a single layer covering the dough. Sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Use peel to scoot pizza onto stone or place baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese and crust are both golden brown. Cut into 8 slices.
