Equipment
- medium bowl
- baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 1 tablespoon yeast
- 4 tablespoon olive oil extra virgin
- ½ cup muffalata olive mix
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix together the yeast, honey and warm water until well combined. Add in 2 ½ cups of flour and knead using your hands. It will be sticky.
- Add in 4 tablespoons of EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) or you can add vegetable oil. Knead well until it is no longer sticky. Form into a ball and keep the dough in the bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel for 10-20 minutes.
- Once the dough rises add to it the muffalata olive mix and knead again until the olives are well combined into the dough. Place the dough on a lined baking sheet and with your hands mold it into a round loaf but don't press it down.
- Preheat oven to 450°F at this point and allow the dough to sit for 10 minutes (dough will rise) before placing in the oven. Bake for 13- 15 minutes. Enjoy warm.
