Tools I Used:

Baking pan I used to bake this bread: https://amzn.to/41kFPlY (it’s just a 1kg panettone mold, but any deep pot will work just as well)
* https://amzn.to/45EnuSO – “flour sifter” a.k.a. tea strainer
* https://amzn.to/4qCUXVM – my favorite bread lame

The aroma fills the kitchen as it bakes, and when you break it open the crackling crust gives way to a soft, springy crumb. The olives bring little bursts of flavor that make each bite unforgettable. Fresh from the oven with just a touch of butter, it’s pure comfort.

*Instructions:*

* Mix water with fresh yeast (or dry yeast) until dissolved.
* Add bread flour and salt, then mix until no dry flour remains. No kneading is needed.
* Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

* Add chopped olives.
* With a wet hand, stretch and fold the four sides of the dough, then fold to the center.
* Use the “lift and slap” technique a few times. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
* Repeat stretch, fold, and light “lift and slap” once more. Cover and let rise until doubled in size (about 2 hours).

* Sprinkle flour on the work surface.
* Fold the dough in half, gently flatten into a strip, and roll tightly.
* Seal the edge, roll in the opposite direction to form a ball.
* Place into a deep, baking paper-lined pot. Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour.

* Lightly flour the top, smooth with your hand, then score with a sharp blade.
* Sprinkle a few drops of water on the sides of the pot to create steam.
* Cover with a lid and bake at 430°F (220°C) for 20 minutes.
* Remove the lid and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.

* Let the bread sing and crack as it cools.
* Slice or tear it open, spread with butter, and enjoy the soft crumb with bursts of olive flavor.
