Olive Fougasse (Rustic Bread) -- Abm image

This olive-rich is rolled into a rectangle and then slashed with a knife to form a traditional pattern. The sunburst is popular, or a tree branch, a moon, or a sunflower. You won't need butter with this olive oil -drenched bread. From "Rustic European Breads from Your Bread Machine" by Linda West Eckhardt and Diana Collingwood Butts

Time 2h10m

Yield 2 Flatbreads, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon bread machine yeast
2 1/2 cups bread flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk, warmed
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup nicoise olive, chopped

Steps:

  • Combine the yeast, flour, sugar, salt, milk, water and olive oil in the bread machine pan and process on the dough setting. At the end of the cycle, turn out the dough onto a lightly floured board and knead in the olives. Turn the bread pan over the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into two equal pieces and roll each piece into an 8x10" rectangle. Place each rectangle on a parchment paper covered baking sheet. Make two rows of 6 to 8 evenly spaced diagonal slashes, leaving 1" at the border and in between the rows, cutting all the way through the dough. Open these slits by pulling them well apart with your hands (this traditional pattern looks like a leaf.) Coat the flatbreads with olive oil and set aside to rise until the dough is puffed, about 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • When loaves are puffy, bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a rack.

This bread is perfection! It's crusty on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The olives add a nice salty flavor.
