When the dough has risen, divide it into 2 pieces and, on a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece. You can obtain the shape you want: rectangular or round. The doses are enough for two 30 cm (12in) round baking sheets if you like crunchy pizza but if you prefer soft pizza use only one baking sheet.
Grease the baking sheets with one tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle them with a tablespoon of flour. Transfer every portion of dough to a baking sheet.

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Mix the puréed tomatoes with the remaining olive oil, leek with its oil and chives; season to taste with salt, stir and spoon on the top of the pizzas. Arrange the seafood ingredients (except the prawns) on the top too. Look at the photo for more details.

Bake the pizzas for about 10-15 minutes, then remove them from the oven and arrange the prawns and grated mozzarella cheese on the top. Bake again for about 5 minutes.
Cooking times are indicative; everyone can adjust them to his oven.
