Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup chopped black olives
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ¼ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix together flour, yeast, sugar, salt, black olives, olive oil, and water.
  • Turn out dough onto a floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside, and let rise about 45 minutes, until it doubles in size. Punch down. Knead well again, for about 5 to 10 minutes. Let rise for about 30 minutes, until it doubles in size.
  • Round the dough on kneading board. Place upside down in a bowl lined with a lint-free, well floured towel. Let rise until double in size.
  • While the bread is rising for the third time, put a pan of water in the bottom of the oven. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  • Gently turn loaf out onto a sheet pan that has been lightly oiled and dusted with cornmeal.
  • Bake loaf at 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 30 more minutes, or until done.

I'm not a huge fan of olives, but I really enjoyed this bread. The olives add a nice salty flavor without being overpowering.

This bread is delicious! The crust is crispy and the inside is soft and fluffy. The olives add a nice salty flavor and the rosemary gives it a subtle herbal note.
