Yield: 2 loaves<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bread:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u00be cups warm water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 envelopes active dry yeast (4\u00bd teaspoons)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u00bd tablespoons oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2\u00bc teaspoons salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5\u00bd cups flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u00bd cups chopped Kalamata olives (green or black)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves (optional)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 egg<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dipping oil (optional):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\/3 cup olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cloves garlic<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 teaspoons rosemary<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bc teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bc teaspoon red pepper flakes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir warm water and yeast until combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add oil, salt, and flour and stir until just mixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add olives and rosemary and mix for 2\u20133 minutes. If dough feels very wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Mixture should be smooth but a little sticky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spray a medium bowl with oil. Place dough in the bowl and coat with some of the oil to keep it from drying out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover bowl with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for 30\u201340 minutes or until dough doubles in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punch dough down on a floured surface. Cut dough in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pull and pat half of dough into a 15\u201dx10\u201d rectangle. From the long side, roll the dough into a long loaf. Tuck the ends under and place on baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repeat with the other half of the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise for another 30\u201345 minutes or until doubled in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beat egg with water. Brush on the loaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make 4\u20135 diagonal slits on the tops of loaves (about \u00bc\u201d deep)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, in a bowl, combine dipping oil ingredients. Allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow flavors to blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brush bread with dipping oil. Bake for an additional 10\u201315 minutes, until bread is golden and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serve with dipping oil, butter, or your favorite sandwich filling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
