To Assemble the pie:

Dough, rolled out and ready to fill

1.  Roll the dough into a rough 14 inch circle.  Add a sheet of parchment paper to the baking sheet. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet.  Some of the dough will overhang the sheet.  Arrange the roasted vegetables on the dough, leaving a 2 inch border. Fold the border over the vegetables and pinch the dough together to form a decorative crust.  Place tablespoons of the soft cheese around the top of the pie.  Use a brush to coat the top crust.
