directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine cheese, tomatoes, olives and rosemary. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 16- x 8-inch (41 x 20 cm) rectangle; sprinkle with two-thirds of the cheese mixture. Fold dough in half to make a square; transfer to a greased 9-inch (2.5 L) square baking pan. Brush top with oil; let rise until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture, using fingertips to poke ingredients into dough and make plenty of dimples. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Bake in preheated 425°F (220°C) oven until golden brown and cheese is bubbly, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting into pieces; serve warm or at room temperature.
