       1/4         ounce  active dry yeast -- (1 pkg)
    1                cup  warm water -- (110 - 115F)
    2        tablespoons  olive oil -- divided
    1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
    1           teaspoon  sugar
    1           teaspoon  garlic powder
    1           teaspoon  dried oregano
    1           teaspoon  dried thyme
    1           teaspoon  dried rosemary -- crushed
       1/2      teaspoon  dried basil
                    dash  pepper
    2               cups  all-purpose flour -- to 2 1/2C
    2                     plum tomatoes -- thinly sliced
       1/4           cup  shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
    1         tablespoon  grated Parmesan cheese

1.   In a lg bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water.  Add 1T oil, salt, 
sugar, garlic powder, herbs, pepper and 1 1/2C flour.  Beat until 
smooth.  Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough 
will be sticky).

about 6 - 8 min.  Place in a greased bowl, turning once to let rise 
in a waram place until doubled, about 1 hr.

3.   Punch dough down.  Cover and let rest for 10 min.  Shape into a 
13 x 9" rectangle; place on a greased baking sheet.  Cover and let 
rise until dounbled, about 30 min.  With fingertips make several 
dimples over top of dough.

4.  Brush dough with remaining oil; arrange tomatoes over the 
top.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake at 400F for 20 - 25 min or until 
golden brown.  Remove to a wire rack.
Makes:  1 loaf, (12 pieces)
