Lightly flour rolling pin and dough then roll dough up around it. Wrap with plastic wrap and set in fridge while the veggies bake to chill. When the vegetables are tender take the crust out of the fridge and roll out over a round baking sheet lined with parchment. Pile the cooked vegetables high in the middle of the dough (be sure to pull out rosemary). Sprinkle cooked bacon over the vegetables. Crumble the goat cheese over the veggie pile.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle a bit more olive oil over the veggies if you like. Fold the crust up and around the vegetable pile in the middle leaving a hole in the center. Bake for 22-25 minutes, cut up and serve hot and enjoy!
