* Generously Flour your worksurface and using a Rolling pin, roll out the Dough into a rectangle about 1cm thick.
* Brush the Dough with the Olive oil and sprinkle with the Garlic, Sun dried tomatoes, the Basil leaves and the Cheeses.
* Roll up the Dough like a Swiss roll, stretching the dough if necessary to ensure that the filling ingredients are completely encased.
* Place on a Baking tray and allow to prove until almost doubled in size.
* Make some holes in the top of the Dough so that he Cheese erupts through them.
* Brush with a tablespoon of Olive oil and sprinkle with the Sea salt.

* Increase the temperature to 220° C (425° F - gas 7), [fan oven 200° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour] and bake for a further 20 minutes.
