2. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
3. Using a sharp knife, make 8 cuts from the center of the dough to the edge, creating 8 equal-sized wedges.

8. Brush the top of the dough with the olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove the Blooming Onion Pizza Bread from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
