Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Black olives, pitted and roughly chopped
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the yeast mixture. Add olive oil and minced garlic.
Stir until the dough begins to come together, then add the chopped olives and dried oregano.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Punch down the dough and shape it into a round or oval loaf. Place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let the loaf rise again for about 20 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Let it cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
