1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (110∞ to 115∞)
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/3 to 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons roasted sweet red peppers, drained and chopped
2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives, drained
5 Greek olives, sliced
5 sliced green olives with pimientos, drained
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon shredded Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon shredded Romano cheese
Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and 1 cup flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, olives and parsley.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover; let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 50 minutes.
Punch dough down. Shape into a 9-in. circle on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 25 minutes. With fingertips, make several dimples over top of dough. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt and cheeses.
Bake at 400° until golden brown, 14-18 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
