Pizza

1. Increase oven heat to 500F. Sprinkle a large cast iron skillet with flour. Cut dough in half and pace on a floured surface. Stretch dough as thinly as possible and add to prepared skillet. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom, puffed and crisp. Remove from pan and repeat with other half of dough. Transfer cooked dough to serving platter or keep warm in a low oven.

2. In a large bowl, mix cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, oil, vinegar, dill and pepper. Shred or finely chop chicken.

3. To serve, top cooked pizza with cucumber mixture, chicken, feta and olives. Slice and serve immediately.
