SOUTHWESTERN TOPPING

This version of the popular Italian flatbread gets a head start from thawed frozen bread dough. It takes 25 minutes to prepare and bakes in 8 minutes.

Cut dough into 6 equal pieces. On a lightly floured board, roll each piece into 5-to-6 inch circle. Lightly spray three 12 by 15 inch baking sheet with cooking spray. Place 2 circles of dough far apart on each sheet. Brush circles with olive oil. Sprinkle with topping.

Lightly cover with plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place until dough rises and appears puffy, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Bake until puffed and golden. 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Best eaten same day; freeze for longer storage.
