Olympic Bread

Ingredients

500g Shipton Mill Organic Light Malthouse Flour

10g salt, 50ml olive oil (I use the olive oil from the sundried tomato jar), 20g semolina

10g dried yeast, 320ml water - warm

100g pitted black olives

100g sundried tomatoes - chopped

3 sprigs of fresh rosemary - cut off the leaves from the stem

Method

In a large bowl (or mixer bowl if using a dough hook) add flour, salt, olive oil and yeast. Pour in water and mix together to combine ingredients.

Then either knead for 6 minutes by hand or with dough hook.

For the first rise put dough back in bowl and cover (I use a shower cap).

Add the sundried tomatoes, olives and rosemary.

Knock back and shape however preferred (or use tins) cover with a tea towel and leave to rise until doubled in size.

Bake in a preheated oven 220C/425F/Gas 7 - check after 20 minutes. Turn over and finish in oven for a further 5 minutes.

Leave to cool on a wired tray.
