Time 1h30m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as needed (240 g)
1 cup whole wheat flour (150 g)
2 teaspoons dry yeast
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1 cup lukewarm water (240 ml)
1/3 cup olive oil (80 ml)
1 cup black olives, pitted and halved
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, slightly chopped
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine the flour, whole wheat flour, yeast and salt. Add the warm water and the olive oil. Process until it forms somewhat of a dough ball. (If too dry, add some more water and if too wet, add more flour but it should be okay without adding more flour or water).
  • Transfer the dough into a large bowl. With floured hands, knead the dough by hand several times. Then incorporate the olives and the rosemary(and the lemon zest if using). This part is a bit messy but keep kneading. The olives and the rosemary will be eventually incorporated.
  • Form the dough into a ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for up to 2 hours until it doubled in size.
  • Punch the risen dough down and knead a few times. Form into a ball with the seam on the bottom. Place on a well-floured baking sheet. Sprinkle flour all over the bread loaf. Slash the top of the bread with a sharp knife or razor blade in whatever pattern you like. Cover with a towel, and let it rise again until it doubled in size.
  • In the meantime preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C When the bread has doubled in size, transfer the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake the bread for about 15 minutes at 425°F / 220°C Then turn down the heat to 375°F / 175°C and bake for 40 to 60 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.
