Instructions

1. Make the dough: in a large bowl, gently whisk the yeast, sugar and warm water until combined, then set aside until the yeast starts to bubble, at least 5 minutes.
2. Add the flour, ¼ cup olive oil and 1 teaspoon salt and mix with a wooden spoon to a soft, pliable dough. If it is too dry add a little more water; if too wet, add a little flour.
3. Grease a 12-inch round pan, cast iron skillet with 2-inch sides or round cake pan with olive oil so it is 1-inch deep. Press, jiggle and stretch the dough toward the edges like focaccia; it may spring back.
4. Cover the dough with a damp tea towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, put the tomatoes, red onion, 1 tablespoon ground oregano, ½ cup olive oil and olives in a bowl. Season with a little salt and mix gently to coat, without breaking up the tomatoes. Set aside.
6. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the tea towel and stretch the dough again toward the edge of the pan with your fingertips until it is dimpled all over.
7. Scatter the feta over the dough, spread the tomato mixture evenly on top and spoon over any accumulated juices. Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the base is cooked and the top is golden.
8. Cut into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
