Pizza dough is a great ingredient to have on hand. It can be used for so much more than the traditional tomato sauce and cheese pizza.
Take this recipe for example: the dough turns into flatbread when topped with a mixture of fresh thyme, leeks, and potatoes. A sprinkle of Gruyere provides a subtle richness. Serve with a green salad and a glass of red wine and let the weekend begin!

Ingredients
1 1-pound package refrigerated pizza dough
Cornmeal for the pan
2 small leeks (white and light green parts), halved and thinly sliced lengthwise
2 medium Red Bliss potatoes, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Kosher salt and pepper
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Gruyère
1 5-ounce package mixed greens
Directions
- Heat oven to 450° F.
- Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle a baking sheet with cornmeal and place the dough on top.
- Combine the leeks, potatoes, thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil in a large bowl. Scatter the potato mixture over the dough and sprinkle with the Gruyère.
- Bake until the crust is golden, about 20 minutes.
- Slice into wedges and transfer to individual plates. Divide the greens among the plates. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and drizzle with the remaining oil.

I'll throw a little chorizo on mine.
1yummm that sounds really good. it's nice that you're talking about leeks since i just read french women don't get fat - and they talk about leeks a lot. now i have another place to use them, although on a flat bread i'm guessing that they won't have nearly the same impact.
