Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

Step 2

Add the flour, salt, and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon or spatula until the mixture starts to form a shaggy dough.

Step 3

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and turn it out onto a floured surface. Flatten it slightly and sprinkle the chopped olives and rosemary over the top.

Step 6

Fold the dough over itself to incorporate the olives and rosemary, then knead gently until evenly dispersed.

Step 7

Shape the dough into a loaf or round and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with the kitchen towel again and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the bread has risen, make a few slashes on top with a sharp knife.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy your fresh dairy-free olive bread!
