On a floured board, roll out a piece of dough about 2" larger than the diameter of a 9 x 13" baking pan. Grease pan with butter and place dough into pan. Gently press it to fit shape of pan. Fill evenly with mixture. Roll out dough for top layer about 1/8" thick. Place over filling. Press dough firmly over rim of pan and trim edges with a knife. Pinch edges of dough between your thumb and forfinger. Brush top with olive oil. Make punctures all over top of dough to permit steam to escape. Bake in a pre-heated 350° oven for 45 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting into serving pieces. Serves 6 to 8.
