You will need:
2 tablespoons of yeast
1 & 1/2 cups of warm water
1 teaspoon of honey
3 cups of strong bread flour
2 teaspoons of salt
2 tablespoons of dried herbs
1 cup of pitted kalamata olives
olive oil to drizzle
Method:
- Gently combine the yeast, warm water and honey in a medium bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Tip the salt into the flour first, then add the flour to the yeast mixture and gently fold with your hands until the flour is completely combined.
- Throw in the dried herbs and kalamata olives and evenly mix the ingredients through.
- Transfer the mixture to a large oiled bowl and cover it with clingfilm. Leave it to rise for 1 hour, and it should double in size.
- Flour a large baking tray.
- Flip the dough out onto a floured surface and break it up into 2 or 3 equal portions. dust some flour over the top of each piece before picking it up and letting it stretch between your hands, the dough should do the work for you as you pull you hands apart.
- Lay out the stretched pieces of dough evenly on the tray.
- Use your knuckle to punch mini holes all over each portion and drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes in a forced oven at 190oC until the bread is golden and easily slides off the metal oven tray.
Wrap it with some baking paper and cute string for your friends or just dip it in some olive oil and eat it straight up!
