Another treat Birg brought into the office to share.
2 tsp dry yeast (specifically for handmade breads, not bread machines)
1 tsp sugar
and dissolve in 1/3 cup of lukewarm water for 15 minutes til frothy
mix in 2 cups of white bread flour, i also use 2 tblsp of a gluten mix from healtheries (not sure what its called)
and 1/3 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup cold water to get a doughy consistency (just add a little of each as you go, you may need more).
then knead for 5 minutes til soft and smooth and put back into large bowl
cover with a tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour til its doubled in size
then knead again and roll onto into an oval shape and put onto floured baking tray and let it rise again
then i push green olives into the top of the dough along with olive oil and a grind of salt, finished with rosemary.
then let it rise a little again
then bake, about 200 C (depends on oven) for 10-15 til golden
i make sure the underside is firm to know it is cooked
