Ingredients

– 2 large leeks, cleaned and sliced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
Creating Caramelized Leek Pizza w/ Spicy Honey is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Prepare the Leeks: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks, salt, and pepper.
3. Caramelize the Leeks: Cook the leeks, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes or until they are soft and golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
5. Transfer Dough: If using a pizza stone, carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel dusted with flour. If using a baking sheet, place the dough on the greased sheet.
6. Add Cheese: Spread the ricotta cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top.
7. Top with Leeks: Evenly distribute the caramelized leeks over the cheese.
8. Bake the Pizza: Place the pizza in the preheated oven (on the pizza stone or baking sheet) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
9. Drizzle with Honey: Once out of the oven, drizzle the spicy honey over the hot pizza.
10. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh thyme or parsley on top for added flavor and color.
11. Cool Slightly: Allow the pizza to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
