Ingredients

• 120 grams Active sourdough starter
• 240 milliliters Water
• 300 grams Bread flour
• 100 grams Whole wheat flour
• 8 grams Salt
• 10 grams Sugar
• 15 milliliters Olive oil
• 80 grams Pitted Kalamata olives (chopped)
• 20 grams Roasted garlic (mashed into a paste)

Directions

Step 1

Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before beginning.

Step 2

In the bread machine's pan, add the ingredients in the following order: water, olive oil, sourdough starter, sugar, salt, bread flour, and whole wheat flour.

Step 3

Select the 'dough' cycle on your bread machine and start. Let the machine knead the dough into a soft, elastic texture.

Step 4

After 15 minutes into the kneading process, add the chopped Kalamata olives and roasted garlic paste. Allow the machine to continue incorporating them into the dough.

Step 5

Once the dough cycle is complete, check if the dough has doubled in size. If it hasn't, leave the dough in the machine to rise further for about 1 hour.

Step 6

Dust a clean surface with flour and carefully transfer the dough onto it. Shape the dough into a round or oblong loaf, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Place the shaped dough onto a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it proof for an additional 1-2 hours until it becomes slightly puffy.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If desired, score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife for a decorative finish.

Step 9

Bake the sourdough for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 10

Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing to ensure the crumb sets properly.

Step 11

Enjoy your Olive and Garlic Sourdough as a delicious snack or accompaniment to meals!
