  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Combine basil, oregano, rosemary and garlic powder in small bowl. Lightly spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll dough on baking sheet. Sprinkle evenly with olives and basil mixture. Cut lengthwise into 3 strips. Fold each strip in half lengthwise, creating 3 rope-like strips. Braid bread and tuck ends under slightly.
