Ingredients
  

  • 3 1/4 cups bread flour plus extra for dusting
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 teaspoons coarse salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 cup chopped pitted olives
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the bread flour, instant yeast, coarse salt, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Add the chopped olives, then pour in the oil and lukewarm water. Stir gently until a shaggy, sticky dough forms. If it seems too sticky, sprinkle in just enough flour to make it easier to handle.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours, or until nearly doubled in size.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Turn the dough out and shape it into a round loaf. Place the shaped dough on a floured baking sheet and cover loosely. Let it rest for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
