Stuffed Olive Bread
1 (1 pound) whole wheat refrigerated pizza dough*
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, plus 1 teaspoon
1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/3 cup finely chopped kalamata olives
4 slices (1 ounce each) yogurt cheese* or other mild white cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Follow the package direction for readying the dough for baking. Roll dough out in an oval shaped to 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil over entire dough. Sprinkle feta cheese, olives and place the yogurt cheese slices over the other toppings.
Roll dough, jelly roll fashion, into a tube shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down. Spread remaining teaspoon olive oil over top of dough. Sprinkle with oregano and salt and bake until golden brown on outside and no longer doughy on the inside, about 30 to 35 minutes.
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

I wanted to take the time to say that your cookbook has been the best addition to my kitchen! I'm not a great cook and my youngest son is an extremely picky eater which makes cooking frustrating, but I've found several recipes that he likes & I enjoy making. I like how you walk through the steps to actually put things together. Many times, I've read the "prep times" in a recipe & go "Oh, yeah, right - I need to add another 30 minutes to their estimate." Your cookbook is really accurate and that makes my life much easier!
