Divide the olive oil between 2 large flat baking pans.
Place the vegetables in a single layer into the 2 pans.
Put the pans into a preheated 300 degree oven and bake the vegetables for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until they are golden brown, but not black at the edges.
You will need to watch the onions most carefully.
Remove the pans from the oven and cool to lukewarm.
After the dough has rested, layer the roasted vegetables over the dough.
Sprinkle with the salt, spices, and olive oil.
Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for forty minutes or till puffy.
