Our Recipes Wholemeal olive bread

Ingredients for the filling/topping

100g destoned black olives, salt as needed

Recipe:

Melt the yeast in a little tepid water. In the mixing bowl of your dough-maker, place the flour, salt, oil, the rest of the water and the melted yeast, and work it all together into a soft and compact dough. Now add the olives, working them into the mix well. Seal the bowl with some clingfilm, and leave to rise for at least two hours - the dough will double in volume in this time.
Once risen, remove from the bowl, and roll it out into a rectangle. Now roll it over on itself into a loaf shape, and place in a oiled and floured baking tin. Leave to rise until it doubles in volume again (between one and two hours). Brush the surface with a little more oil and bake at 200°C in the centre of the oven for 50/60 minutes. Remove, leave to cool on a wire rack, and serve.
