Provided by Joan Nathan

Time 4h

Yield 2 - 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups all-purpose flour plus 2 teaspoons flour for sprinkling
1 package dry yeast
1 1/4 cups lukewarm water
1 1/2 cups Mediterranean black olives, pitted and chopped
1 1/2 cups Mediterranean green olives, pitted and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine

Steps:

  • This bread tastes better if kneaded by hand. Place 4 cups of flour in a mixing bowl. Make a well in the center.
  • Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup of the water, and add to the flour. Knead until smooth. Let rise in the bowl, covered, for one hour.
  • Punch down the dough, then work in the olives, salt, oregano, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup flour. Knead the dough again for a few minutes, then let rise, covered in the same bowl, for another hour.
  • Divide the dough into 5 portions, and mold into ovals about 6 inches long. Using a sharp knife or razor, cut 3 slits horizontally across each top, and leave uncovered for 20 minutes.
  • Brush with the melted butter or margarine, and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of flour. Place the loaves on a greased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for about 45 minutes, or until the bread taps hollow. Serve warm.

This bread is amazing! It's so flavorful and the olives add a nice touch of saltiness. I love to serve it with a spread of butter or cream cheese.
