Olive Rosemary Bread
Olive and rosemary are a delicious pairing of flavours. This bread can be made with ingredients sourced from farmers and producers of Saskatchewan. This recipe is a delicious side for the Minestrone Soup on the ZestyKits menu next week.
- Prep Time 5 Minutes
- Cook Time 45-50 Minutes
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cup flour
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp liquid honey
- 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh or dry rosemary
- 3/4 cup pitted black olives
- 1 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Disolve the honey into the water.
- Combine all ingredients (water last) in a large bowl. We love using a wooden spoon. Ensure there is no dry flour left. Cover with a tea towel and let rise from 8 to 18 hours.
- Once you are ready to bake the bread, turn on the oven to 450F. Place a 3 qt or larger dutch oven in the oven to heat up. While the oven is heating, place the risen dough on floured parchment paper and shape the dough into a ball. Garnish the top of the bread as desired. We used rosemary and finishing salt.
- Carefully remove the hot dutch oven from the oven. Lift the bread with the parchment paper and place the dough and parchment paper in the dutch oven. Cover and bake 30 minutes covered. Remove the lid and continue to bake for approximately 15 minutes.
- Bon appetit!
Notes
It is very important to heat up the dutch oven before adding the bread. This will create a contrast in temperature that will make your crust crispy. You can make this recipe using ingredients sourced from Saskatchewan farmers and producers. We used flour from R&J milling, rosemary from splendor garden, yeast from Local & Fresh, local honey and black olives from the Italian Star Deli.
