Directions

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Prepare a sheet pan with cooking spray.
  2. 2. Place dough in bowl, add one tablespoon oil and rosemary. Season generously with pepper. Knead dough until ingredients are combined.
  3. 3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 9 by 6 inch rectangle.
  4. 4. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Flatten and press dough into a 12 by 9 inch rectange. Rub one tablespoon olive oil over the top; sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese over the oil and press the cheese gently into the dough.
  5. 5. Bake until bread is almost cooked through and cheese begins to brown, about 12 minutes.
  6. 6. Arrange the olives, tomatoes and garlic on top of the bread; sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over all. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over all and top with rosemary sprigs.
  7. 7. Continue baking until cheese melts and bread is cooked through, about five minutes.
  8. 8. Remove from oven, cut into squares or wedges, and serve.
