Olive bread

The recipe makes one round loaf.

What you need

For the starter dough
1/2 tsp active dried yeast
120 ml lukewarm water
175 g plain flour
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
For the dough
350 ml lukewarm water
5 1/2 tsp active dried yeast
450 g plain flour
2 tsp salt
150 g black kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
3 tsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

  1. Dissolve the yeast, stirring it into the lukewarm water. After 10 min, when dissolved completely, stir in the flour to distribute the yeast.

  2. Transfer starter dough to a bowl lightly greased with olive oil. Cover tightly with cling film. Place in an area free from heat and draughts. Leave to rise overnight or until it has more than doubled in volume.

  3. Put 1/3 of the remaining lukewarm water into a bowl and stir in the dried yeast. After 10 min when dissolved, add half the starter, a third of the remaining flour and the salt. Mix well together.

  4. Add remaining flour and water, mixing slowly with the remaining starter. Add the chopped olives, occasionally lifting the mixture with a spatula, out of the bowl. Continue to mix for about 8 min or until the dough easily comes away from the bowl without sticking.

  5. Lightly flour the work surface and turn out dough onto it. Knead the dough for 2-3 min, folding the dough with a spatula in towards the centre. Repeat this all the way round.

  6. Brush the dough all over with a little olive oil. Place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a damp towel. Leave the dough in a warm place for 1 days or until the dough has doubled in size.

  7. Dust the work surface with flour and with the palm of your hands, flatten dough to a thickness of 3 1/2 cm. Knead the dough for 5 min and pat the dough to form a flat round shape and leave to rise for 1 hr.

  8. Preheat oven to 200°C.

  9. Place dough in the oven on a baking tray for 20 min.

  10. Reduce temperature to 190°C and bake for 40 min. Leave to cool before cutting into slices and serving.
