Preparation of the olive bread

If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest in a warm place for about 20 minutes.

After the dough has risen nicely, add the olives, finely chopped rosemary, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and chopped onion. Knead vigorously again and leave to rest for about 20 minutes. In the meantime, line a baking tray with baking paper and preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Shape the dough into an oval loaf, no higher than 3 cm. Dust with flour and place on the baking sheet. Prick with a fork 4-5 times. Then put it in the oven and bake on the middle shelf for about 40 minutes. When the bread has cooled, serve with a glass of good red wine.
