Remove from oven and let sit covered 10 additional min. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Remove towel and drizzle dough with 1/2 cup olive oil. With your fingertips, lightly press 1/4-inch indents all over surface of dough. Stud with cherry tomatoes and green olives. Sprinkle all over with Za'atar Seasoning. Return to oven and cook for 35 min., until top of bread is golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with parsley and Mayan Sea Salt, slice, and serve.
