Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt.
-
Gradually add water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing well until a dough forms.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a rough oval or rectangle.
-
Using a sharp knife or kitchen shears, make several diagonal cuts on both sides of the dough to resemble leaf veins.
-
Gently pull the cuts apart to create openings.
-
Sprinkle the chopped olives and rosemary over the dough, pressing them lightly.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack before serving.
