In a large bowl, stir together 2 cups of the all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, 1 ½ tsp. of the salt, and the yeast.
Stir in the warm water until the mixture is moistened (the dough will be sticky and soft).
Cover bowl loosely with plastic wrap; let rest at room temperature 2 hours.
Lightly grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet.
Using a fork, stir the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour into the dough. Gather dough with your hands and spread slightly in a prepared skillet.
Cover loosely with lightly greased plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature until puffy (1 ½ to 2 hours).
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Sprinkle dough with olives, roasted pepper, rosemary, and garlic. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp. of the oil and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ tsp. salt.
Place the cast iron skillet on a stove burner and cook over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
Transfer to oven and bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
Cool slightly in a skillet on a wire rack. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Serve warm.
