2. Step 2: Add 4 tbsp cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients and rub with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

5. Step 5: Turn dough onto a floured surface and roll out into a 12x10 inch rectangle. Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly over the dough.
6. Step 6: Roll the dough carefully into a log, seal edges, and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly score the top.
7. Step 7: Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
