1/2 cup (2 ounces) sliced salami and 1/4 cup sliced green onion
OR
1 jar (6-ounce) drained, sliced marinated artichoke hearts and 2/3 cup diced, seeded tomato.

4 cups all-purpose flour (4 to 4 1/2 cups)
2 packages Fleischmann's® Active Dry or Rapid Rise Yeast
2 teaspoons Italian herb seasoning
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed

1 8-ounce package shredded mild sharp Cheddar cheese
1 4-ounce can diced green chilis, drained
