How to make it
- Heat oven to 375°

- Allow to sit for about 20 mins. to infuse oil and soften dried herbs.
- Add warm water/olive juice mixture to bowl (or bread machine pan)
- Add sugar and yeast, stir and allow to sit for about 5 mins.
- Add 3 cups bread flour

- Bread Machine NOTE:
- If using machine to make bread, including baking, set on light setting for large loaf and your work is done!
- Oven baking NOTE 2:
- If baking in oven:
- Mix all together, then knead well .
- Allow to double in bulk in covered bowl (about 45 mins), punch down.
- Knead gently, shape into loaf and place in greased bread pan. Lightly coat dough with thin coating of olive oil, cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise again until double in bulk (about an hour)
- Bake about 45 mins until done. Brush top with melted butter.
- (I use dough setting on machine for mixing and first raise and then follow with second raise in bread pan and oven baking)

This is a really nice recipe. As Points said, it's savory.... Loads of flavour, nice density. I served it with a Chicken and Olive dish. I followed the recipe completely with the exception of using Green olives stuffed with Pimentos instead of Kalama...more
