How to make Olive Bread
Method
Mix salt, yeast, flour, black pepper and add in oil and water and mix to a soft but not sticky dough.
Knead till smooth and elastic and shape into a round. Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with oiled cling film and leave in warm place to rise for 1- 1 1/2 hours or till doubled in size. Knock back the dough and knead for 2-3 minutes.
Divide into 2 pieces, roll each piece to a rectangle and spread one with olives and the other with sun-dried tomatoes, parsley and basil.
Roll up each rectangle from the long end and place seam-side down on the greased baking tray.
Make diagonal slashes on top of each loaf, cover loosely with oiled cling film and leave in a warm place for 20 minutes.
Brush top of loaf with water and sprinkle with salt, bake at 230 degrees C for 15 minutes, reduce temperature to 190 degrees C and bake for further 15 minutes or till risen and golden.
Tap bases to see if the loaves are cooked, they should sound hollow.
Cool on a wire rack and serve sliced.
