So tasty and simple. Delicious bursts of fresh tomato are paired with hints of garlic, rosemary, and Parmesan. The bottom crust has a deep-dish pizza-like flavor. Serve this for a festive supper on a weekday or any other occasion. It would go well on a holiday charcuterie board because it is the ideal container for cheese and meats.

Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 (13.8 ounce) package Pillsbury® refrigerated classic pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 sprigs fresh rosemary, or more to taste
- 6 medium cherry tomatoes, halved, or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon sliced green olives, or more to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Spread pizza crust over the surface to fit.
- Stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, parsley, kosher salt, and pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush oil mixture over the dough. Make indentations all over the surface of the dough by pressing your finger or the end of a wooden spoon into it.
- Create a festive wreath or Christmas tree shape in the center of the dough with rosemary sprigs, cherry tomatoes, and olives. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 17 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- The 1/4 cup olive oil is necessary for creating the crispy crust. Don’t skip this part or try to cut back on it!
- Refrigerated pizza dough is readily available at most grocery stores. You could also use fresh pizza dough but may need a slightly larger pan if more than 13.8 ounces.
