Spread stracchino cheese evenly over the rolled dough.

Roll out the second piece of dough and cover the cheese.

Seal the edges by pinching them together.

Brush the top with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.
