Olive bread requires just 4 major ingredients, olives being the first obviously. You don’t have to be a fancy baker or anything, just the normal ingredients, a little effort and your olive bread is ready. You can use green or black pitted olives, whichever you prefer or even both if you like it that way. Chop the olives and keep them aside, in a bowl mix all the dry ingredients, in another smaller bowl add warm water and yeast and let that activate for 10 mins. Mix the dry and wet ingredients, add the chopped olives and knead your dough with light hands. Drizzle a good amount of olive oil on top and let it rest for 20- 60 mins and pop it in the oven! Once baked, take it out, let it cool and its ready for the feast! Apply butter and toast it, or dip in olive oil or make flavourful sandwiches, the choice is yours!
