This recipe requires 1/2 recipe Whole Wheat Pizza Dough and Thai Peanut Sauce be made first. Leftovers are good cold for breakfast. Serve with red wine (but not at breakfast) and a good movie.

1 tsp	extra virgin olive oil
1 large	leek
2 Tbsp	Thai peanut sauce
1 tsp	extra virgin olive oil
6	sea scallops (about 6 ounces)
2 Tbsp	unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1/2 cup	fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup	fresh mung bean sprouts
1/2	whole wheat pizza dough

Pizza is best baked on a pizza stone but a cookie sheet will work as well. Place the baking stone or cookie sheet in an oven that has been preheated to 500°F. Allow the baking surface to heat for at least 15-20 minutes.

Place 1 tsp. olive oil in a non-stick skillet pan over medium high heat. Add the leek and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the leeks begin to soften and brown stirring frequently.

Add the peanut sauce and toss to coat thoroughly. Set aside.

While the leeks are cooking, heat the remaining 1 tsp. olive oil a small non-stick skillet over high heat. When the pan is very hot, add the scallops to the pan. Sear on one side about 3 minutes and turn. Cook on the other side for about another three minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain.

When they are cool slice them in half so there are two discs for each scallop (a total of 6 discs per pizza).

Using 1/4 of the pizza dough recipe (for each pizza), gently stretch into 8-inch rounds. Don’t work too hard to get a perfectly round shape.

Arrange all the toppings so that they will be easy to place on top of the dough.

Once the dough is formed, place it on top of the hot pizza stone and top with each with one half of the leek mixture. Sprinkle with 1-tablespoon peanuts per pizza and top with 6 scallop discs (seared side up) and then 1/4 cup cilantro leaves per pizza.

Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes until the dough begins to brown. Top with 1/4 cup bean sprouts and cook for another 2 minutes.
