Steps:
- For the crust: Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Dust a heavy baking sheet with cornmeal. Set aside.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle about 16 inches long and 8 inches wide. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- For the topping: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. In batches, add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and add the feta cheese and mint. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Using the tines of a fork, prick the surface of the dough all over. Spread the spinach mixture on top and dot with butter.
- Bake until the dough is golden and crunchy, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

EASY MEDITERRANEAN PIZZA
This is a great recipe for a different kind of pizza. It's heavy on the flavors, but you don't feel stuffed after eating it. The recipe was actually born of an experiment performed by myself and a friend on a Sunday night. Be creative, though... last time I made it, I spread pine nuts over the surface and it was terrific!

GREEK PIZZA WITH POURABLE CRUST
Yes, you really can make and bake homemade pizza crust in less than 30 minutes! The trick is whipping up a pourable crust. For this pizza, I was going for a Greek theme, so I went for toppings like roasted eggplant and bell peppers, feta, artichokes, mint and lemon.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment.
- Put the eggplant slices in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with 1/8 teaspoon salt; flip slices and sprinkle with another 1/8 teaspoon salt. (This step helps remove the bitterness.) Set aside.
- Put the bell peppers in a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Spread out on 1 large rimmed baking sheet.
- Rinse the salt off the eggplant and pat dry with a paper towel. Put the eggplant in a bowl and toss with the remaining teaspoon oil. Spread on the other lined baking sheet and bake the peppers and eggplant, flipping halfway through, 20 minutes. (Leave the oven on.)
- Meanwhile, spray a 15-by-10-inch (or 13-by-9-inch) rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and sprinkle with the cornmeal; set aside.
- Combine both flours, the oregano, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Combine the milk and eggs in a small bowl; mix into the flour mixture until well combined. Pour into the prepared baking sheet and even out the dough. Top with the roasted eggplant and bell peppers.
- Bake the pizza for 10 minutes. Turn the oven to the broil setting, and top the pizza with the artichokes, red onion, cherry tomatoes and cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted and golden, about 5 minutes. (Watch carefully.)
- Top the pizza with the mint leaves and serve with lemon wedges if using.

Tips
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pizza will be. This means using fresh vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a good quality olive oil.
- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make it tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then let it rest for a few minutes before rolling it out.
- Roll out the dough thinly: A thin crust will cook evenly and crispy. Aim for a dough that is about 1/8-inch thick.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy. Choose your toppings carefully and don't pile them on too thick.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: The higher the temperature, the crispier the crust will be. Aim for a temperature of around 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Watch the pizza closely while it bakes: Pizzas can burn quickly, so keep an eye on it and remove it from the oven as soon as the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
