Roll dough into 15 x 10-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. If dough springs back, lightly cover and let rest 10 minutes. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet. Proceed with recipe as directed above, increasing baking time to
15 to 20 minutes.
Serving Suggestion: Serve with mixed greens tossed with halved or sliced strawberries and kiwi, toasted almonds and a citrus vinaigrette. | |  |
