Method

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add warm water gradually, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes, then let rest for 30 minutes.
Roll the dough into a large circle. Place on a baking sheet and spread the cheese mixture over it, leaving a 1-inch border.
Crack 2 eggs into the center of the cheese layer. Drizzle with olive oil and season with pepper.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden. Serve warm.
