Had a party to go to so I made a loaf of Steve’s (artisanbreadwithsteve) Mediterranean Olive Bread to share. (made some minor tweaks) It was a big hit with a dish of EVOO & Balsamic Vinegar for dipping.

3 cups flour. (I used white all-purpose flour)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. instant yeast
1 tsp. Thyme
Zest of 1 Lemon
4 oz of sliced black olives
5 oz of stuffed green olives (sliced)
1 tbsp. Olive oil
12 oz. cool tap water

Here’s the dough after proofing over night

Flattened on a well-floured poly board

Turned it onto itself, cut in half and formed into 2 basic loaf shapes and placed into parchment paper sling in loaf pans for additional 90 min. proofing.

Into preheated superstone covered bread baker. Cooked for 25 minutes covered and then 10 minutes uncovered.

All of it was good eats! :mrgreen:
 
I am still working on my bread. I wish I could get a crumb like that.
Aussie & Pyle, Thanks. I stumbled onto Steve's videos (artisanbreadwithsteve) on another site but his method makes it so easy. (I'm sure my superstone bread baker helps) Here is his video for this bread but he has allot more that you can watch and try.
