Oregano-Olive Bread
From SarahWiki
[edit]
Ingredients
2.5 cups of bread flour 1 packet of yeast 1 teaspoon of salt 1 heaped teaspoon of caster sugar 2 tablespoons of oil 1 cup of warm water (just above body temperature) Generous handful of dried oregano Half a jar of pimento-stuffed olives 4 tablespoons of greek set yoghurt (ideally, but any unsweetened yoghurt will probably be fine too)
[edit]
Method
- Mix the yeast thoroughly into the water, making sure that there are no lumps
- Add the salt, sugar, oil and oregano and mix until there are no more lumps
- Add the flour, then the olives. Mix with a wooden spoon, then with your fingers, until the dough is well mixed and smooth. It should end up slightly sticky, not too dry or too runny.
- Sprinkle flour onto a flat surface, then knead the dough on it into a suitable shape
- Put the dough somewhere warm (but not hot) until it rises to roughly double its original size. I generally stand it on a baking sheet on top of the oven while it is preheating, covered in a clean towel.
- Bake in a preheated oven set to 400F/200C for about 20 minutes. As my grandmother says, "when it's brown it's done, when it's black it's buggered!", so keep an eye on it.

The result
A very tasty, crusty flat bread that goes very nicely with olive oil and cheese.
