sheets with olive oil. Arrange eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, and
onion slices on cookie sheet. Combine rfeamining olive oil with
crushed garlic and brush sliced vegetables well. Place in oven and
grill for 5 minutes. While vegetables are grilling, flour work surface
and roll dough into a large, thin sixteen-inch round to be baked on a
pizza pan, or for a change of pace, roll dough into a thin rectangle
to fit a cookie sheet. Brush cookie sheet or pan lightly with olive
oil and dust with corn meal. Tansfer dough to baking pan. Remove
grilled vegetables from oven. Brush crust generously with pesto. Layer
vegetables on pesto, beginning with eggplant slices, topping with
