Ingredients

Servings

• 3 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
• 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 2 clove Garlic, minced

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
2. Add the olive oil and water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a rectangle, about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.
7. Using a sharp knife, make diagonal cuts on both sides of the dough, creating a leaf-like pattern.
8. In a small bowl, combine the olives, sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, and minced garlic. Spread the mixture evenly over the dough.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the fougasse is golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
11. Slice and enjoy!
