I made this and turned it into a focaccia pizza. The flavors in the toppings - salty, sweet, tart, spicy - work SO well together. http://tastytrix.blogspot.com/2011/11/olive-cherry-focaccia-pizza-fopizza-for.html

I made a "test batch" before my guests arrive this week because I wasn't sure how the combo of flavors would match, but they really do. The sweet tartness, salty olives, and tangy goat cheese made my taste buds jump for joy! I will make them again...and again, for sure.
