Calories: 1467kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 large leek (white and light green parts only) julienned, then clean
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms cleaned & sliced
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 8 ounces low-moisture fresh mozzarella shredded
- 4 ounces goat cheese crumbled
- 3 ounces prosciutto
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F. Place pizza stone in oven while it's preheating (for at least 30 minutes). If you don't have a pizza stone, use a baking sheet (no need to preheat the baking sheet).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium cast iron skillet over medium heat. Saute leek, stirring occasionally, about 3-4 minutes. Add in mushrooms, saute for an additional 2-3 minutes, until everything is tender and slightly wilted. Season with ¼ teaspoon of salt. Remove from skillet, and set to the side.
- Divide pizza dough into 2 even pieces. Stretch out each pizza dough flat onto a lightly floured pizza peel. Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each pizza. Spread out half of the sauteed leeks and mushrooms on each pizza. Top each with goat cheese and mozzarella. Finish with slices of prosciutto.
- Once the oven and pizza stone have preheated for 30 minutes, transfer pizza from lightly floured peel to the pizza stone in the oven. Cook pizza for 12-14 minutes, until dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Top with red pepper flakes to taste. Cut into 6-8 slices and serve immediately.
Notes
To clean leeks: First julienne leek (white and light green parts), then rinse in a colander, or in a bowl of cold water until all dirt is removed.
To clean mushrooms: Wipe off excess dirt with a dry cloth.
