Dr Doughlittle | Green Olives and Rosemary Bread

Crispy crust, open crumb. Delicious with extra olive oil dip containing pepper and sea salt.

Spanish pitted Queen olives with fresh rosemary bread. I used 1 1/2 tsp dried yeast; 100g water and 100g King Arthur’s Unbleached bread flour. Mixed these and left it at room temperature for 1 1/2 hours. Then added 400g flour; 230g water and 1 1/2 tsp sea salt. Knead in my Kitchen Aid for 10 mins. adding 113 g (one bottle) of the chopped olives and freshly chopped rosemary leaves towards the end. Proofed for an hour, folded and shaped. Proofed further for 45 mins. and baked at 240˚C for 25 mins.
