Method

Heat the oven to 220C, gas 7. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, add the shallots and cook over a medium low heat for 5-7mins until golden, then set aside. Using the same pan turn the heat up slightly, add the leeks and cook for a few mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the defrosted dough according to the pack instructions, then roll to make a pizza base 30cmx23cm. Sprinkle the polenta over a baking tray, then put the dough on top. Scatter with the leeks and shallots, dot over the cheese and sprinkle over the sage and walnuts. Bake for 8-10 mins, until the base is crisp and golden.
