YIAH twist: If you would like to twist this recipe using Your Inspiration At Home products, I would definitely try Italian Primavera extra virgin olive oil (with lime, basil and cracked pepper flavour) or Mediterranean olive oil (basil, garlic, pepper, thyme and lemon in Australian Extra Virgin olive oil).

You can also add a tablespoon or two of the Italian Rustica dip mix to the dough
