Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 4 cups flour, sifted
  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1-1/2 tsp. pepper, freshly ground (my addition)
  • 3/4 cups warm water
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary, (my addition)
  • 1 Tbsp. thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
  • Milk for glaze (I blend milk and melted butter for glaze)

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. In a frying pan, heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil and add the diced onions.
  3. Sauté until lightly browned but not fully caramelized. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a bowl, mix sifted flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
  5. Add sautééd onions to the dry ingredients.
  6. Then add the water, olive oil, rosemary, thyme, and olives.
  7. Mix until well blended and the dough has formed.
  8. Turn out onto a floured board and knead the dough until soft and smooth, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  9. Cover with a towel and let sit for about 20 minutes.
  10. Shape the dough into a large ball and place it on a greased loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until the bread is a light golden brown.
  11. When the bread is 10 minutes from being done, brush the surface lightly with the milk and melted butter mixture to give it a gloss.
  12. Place it back in the over for the remaining 10 minutes.
  13. Remove the bread from the oven and place it on a rack to cool.
  14. Enjoy!
