Recipes for Cook

Ingredients

2 tsp easy blend yeast

500g (1lb) strong white flour

1.5tsp salt

75ml (2.5floz) olive oil, plus additional olive oil to finish

75ml (2.5fl oz) dry white wine (I just used more water)

200g (7oz) pitted black olives (or half a tub of olive pate)

2 tbsp fresh thyme leaves

1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano

Put all the dry ingredients in the bread machine, add the water and olive oil and set the machine to dough.

When it has finished turn it out onto an oiled baking sheet and press into a round, spread the olive pate onto the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.  Bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped underneath.  Sprinkle with additional oil if required.  Cool on a wire rack.
